In the Opening Title Sequence of 21 Jump Street, it starts with Eminem's 'Slim Shady' playing over the top of the cinematography. The music helps represent the genre of the film because it is young pop music.
The first shot is at a high angle looking down on an American yellow school bus. People start piling off the bus and the camera tilts down until one of the main characters gets off the bus. The shot becomes a stedicam as it follows this character walking forward towards the school and inside.
Continuity editing is then involves as the camera then films the character at a mid-shot from the front walking through a door into the school. The 180 degree rule is used is the camera does not cross the 180 degree line so he appears on the right side.
Throughout the OTS there is text writing between clips, the text is in red and blue writing and moves fairly quickly, which connotes that the film includes action and involves the police.
The body language of the character shows that he is nervous, he gives an awkward looking smile and this could show that he is insecure about his appearance as he has braces on his teeth. His clothing shows that he is a typical American teenager because they do not wear school uniforms.
Sound - more clarity - the music helps represent the genre of the film because it is young pop music (as an example - see how this provides greater clarity).
