Analysis of the American Splendor Title Sequence.

I am writing a brief analysis of the film "American Splendor" and looking at the micro and macro elements which have been incorporated into the title sequence.
The film opens with a very experimental way of introducing a film or piece of work. The lead character explains his life story and the way in which he has progressed from a basic cartoonist to developing into someone became famous through his art work. The film uses very clever techniques to draw the viewers into the main film. One of these techniques is the use of reflexive imagery. This is sown when the camera and editing cuts to showing the lead character working on the voice over for the film and showing how it is developing. This is a very clever technique and doesn't really conform to its genre type.
Imagery at the start shows viewers a different perspective on film making and draws the viewer in to a different and interesting genre type. The use of comic book introducing is a very basic but excellent way of working. The introduction shows Harvey as a young boy and shows how different he actually is compared to his friends. This is shown when Harvey is trick or treating with his friends when he comes as himself this is shown as different and not coform to his friends stereotypical view of Halloween.
