In the title sequence of Lock Stock and two smoking barrels its a very contraversial approach. Instead of showing what the film is about through the traditional or stereo typical way of showing a title sequence. The title sequence is mixed into to the opening scene in the film. firstly it shows a man selling goods for other people. The man has a cockney accent and shows it to be in london through the use of pounds and their accents. The man has crude jokes and is very amusing yet whitty when he is clearly selling stolen and fake goods.
Him and his partner use each other to make money as the partner prottends to be among the croud. When the police come they immdiately run away which shows what they are doing is bad. There is then a non diegetic voice over of teh narrator who says that 'Bacon' who is one of the characters in the films selling goods on the street days are over.The slow motion shows this as they throw all their goos away. There is also non-diegetic music that comes in at that time. It shows they are used to it and know how to deal with situations like this.The font that appears and the actions that are going on at the same time show that its a crime thriller. The names that come up first because it is a british film and therefore needed more money to fund it. The names of the actors arent put in as they arent big enough to have any importance.
The first thing that we see is someone trying to sell goods to people on the street.
