This is the Title Sequence of the film known as Forrest Gump. This is a good title sequence as it clearly shows the name of the cast. The gentle tone of music that is playing while the title sequence is commencing shows that the genre is drama. It shows the main character as we follow a feather until it lands on the main characters foot. The plot is clearly shown as the main character has very dirty shoes and the suitcase had clothes in it which suggests he was travelling and the movie would be about a journey he is making.
