Die Hard 4.0 - Ryan Breeze

Die hard 4.0 is an action crime film starring Bruce Willis it is the fourth of the four films. In the title sequence it doesn’t feature Bruce Willis as it’s not necessary because of the previous sequels. Plus the title sequence doesn’t tell you too much about the film as it doesn’t feature the criminal only his employees. But looking at the mise-en-scene there’s a lot of computer equipment telling us that this Die Hard will be a lot more modern so that it can relate to the audience to make a more thrilling film. Also the titles flicker and make noises like a computer to fit with the narrative plus you also get these flashing images of a computer screen appearing as well.

The title sequence features another main character and it introduces him as a geeky computer hacker, they do this so when he comes into the film later they can skip more to the action without the viewers being too confused on who he is. The end of the title sequence is more action pact as the building where one the hackers is blows up giving the viewer that there will be a lot more action in the film.

The way the sequence is delivered is really good as it doesn’t tell you too much of the story but it gives you a slight idea on what is going to happen. There are also a lot of special effects in the sequence making it more modern and appealing to watch. Another point is there sound track, as it fits really well with the sequence because of dramatic percussion instruments and the violins building suspense.
