Camera 

At first there is a panning from the floor to a close up of Jims shoulders and head. thought out the whole title sequence there is a lot of short reverse shot between for example Kevin and his girlfriend in the chair and Jim and the TV. There is also a big number of wide shots, for example the nerds playing there instruments and the boys walking through school. The camera moves fluidly through the set and the arrives at a specific shot such as a mid shot or a wide shot 

Editing 

Throughout the whole title sequence there is a lot of shot reverse shots and a lot of match cuts to make the movie fluid so it makes it seem like it is real. To be honest there isnt a lot of editing apart from the complete basics, i believe this is due to the fact that it is an old film when film wasnt that big.

Sound 

The sounds start with a bass guitar  based sound track suggesting something mysterious is going to happen, there is also an erotic women in the background that gives out digetic sounds because the voice is coming from the tv. However as soon as we are shown the title of the movie we hear another song that is sounds a lot more bright, this have a very big link to the storyline because it suggests that the boys are going to break some rule and get themselves into a lot of trouble. Other sounds do include dialogue and other digetic sounds such as walking and normal day to day sounds.  

Mise en Scene
The Title is mainly based first firstly in Jim's bedroom, and in a high school. The lighting in the film is normal and because its based in a high school there is no lighting. The key props in the title sequence are the sock that Jim uses and the remote that he struggles to turn off the TV. In the next scene the key props are the university papers that Kevin looks at to tell his girlfriend if she got into university. Those are the key props in the title sequence.
