Analysis of Opening Sequence - Fast & Furious 6

Action, Crime and Thriller
Hobbs has Dom and Brian reassemble their crew in order to take down a mastermind who commands an organization of mercenary drivers across 12 countries. Payment? Full pardons for them all.




They have started the film with a recap from the previous 5 Fast & Furious. "Let's go for a little ride" suggests "let's have a recap" and as the audience recall things from past, it helps them relate to the story more quickly. 

A montage of close-up shots of the interior design in a car at a fast pace which connotes the idea of fast cars and racing. The protagonists were introduced at the very beginning without any mystery because audience already know who they are and what they do from the previous Fast & Furious films. The flash back of the crashing, chasing, explosions suggests the danger and fun of the game/mission. 

The soundtrack is specifically recorded for this film's title sequence and they have matched some of the wording in the song with the visual from the film. For example: 'in the dark' and it shows a picture of Vin Diesel lighting up from the dark. 

The order of characters introduced is the order of their role's importance in the film. They have also layout the titles in the same way, firstly the production companies; Universal Pictures then the main actors' names; Vin Diesel, Paul Walker then director, costume designer and so on.
