What conventions of an opening title sequence are being met in the opening title sequence of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World?
Many conventions of an opening title sequence are included in this title sequence such as; using an opening scene, using sound effects to enhance the sequence,crediting the film company (See image 1),crediting the producer and production company (See images 2),title of the film (See image 3), credits to the main actresses and actors (See image 4), music (See image 5), credits to director and other key crew members (See image 6), use of special effects and significant props (see image 7), and towards the beginning a small amount of narration over text (See image 8) Another convention at the very beginning of the clip that is common is the logo of the film company (See image 9)
What conventions of an opening title sequence are being challenged?
Overall in comparison to Se7en this opening title sequence breaks the boundaries in a similar way however the style in which it has been done is entirely different especially between genre and special effects. In se7en it was credited to have been given "analog warmth and randomness which may have otherwise been cheapened by digital effects." Where as in Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World there was a lot of perfectionism and they even made a mood-film before creating the full sequence (which can be found on the top link) "The shot took about 20 takes to nail and was shot on the second day of filming, a good ambitious set up to start with." this shows how much effort was put into every aspect of the title sequence especially as if you read on they explain that they had created the room to fit the 50ft technocrane in to film the giant room out on the living room scene.

What conventions of an opening title sequence are being challenged?
This opening title sequence has a considerable amount of conventions that are challenged; we find that the logo crediting the film company has been edited to look old a pixelated accompanied by 8-bit music to give it an edgy game-like feel portraying surrealism (See image 9), also there is an unusual introduction/briefing on the main characters (See image 10), uncommonly there is text emphasising sound effects, music and speech (See image 11), atmosphere is presented very differently in this opening title sequence as the is a lot of bright painted colours and business in the credits, usual due to it heritage the opening title sequence includes a reference to the manga series (See image 12). Overall it gives less away than most opening title scenes since it hints to the style of film but not the plot.
