I- Iconography (things that establish a genre and what you can see visually)
C- Characters
S- Setting

 Dr No (James Bond)
In the lesson we watched the Dr No (James Bond) title  sequence. After watching the title sequence, we get to know that, this is a action genre movie and has a sub genre of spy. This is shown through Iconography as the gun barrel established the theme of action and highlights the genre of spy.
The silhouettes of people used in this title sequence also creates mystery imagery, as well as establish the genre of action as it shows people fighting and women's figures which is usually seen within an action film and the fact that there are silhouttes adds the sub genre of spy as they are mysterious characters and imagery and have no identity.

Splice

This title sequence is easy to recognise a definite genre but certain aspect in the title sequence does establish Sci-fic. This is due to the colour green that establish this genre. Also the colour green can relate with aliens which can only be seen in sic-fic movies. In this title sequence the iconography of the house style which includes all visual elements being consistent such as colour green and the vain we can visually see on the screen gives the viewer this idea that the green blood vessels are of aliens again giving this idea of sci-fic genre.

The Back up Plan
This title sequence genre is a chick flick with the hybrid of Rom-com due to the comedy elements which comes from the man flashing and the romantic element comes from the couple on a date we see on the screen. This title sequence is targeted for female audience because of the colour being used and the animation in the title sequence is very Femenine as well as, the Typography used is very Feminine and elegant  which matches the colours and the design of the title sequence.
