How does the conventions constructed differently in your two chosen film opening sequences?

The conventions in Monsters Inc and Harry Potter are very different, despite their target audience being similar of age. Monsters Inc. is mainly graphic and cartoon based. The animation bounces off the music, which is a happy, jazzy saxophone, this kind of music would be more intriguing to children as its fast paced and generally fun, something that is stereotypically used in order to appeal to children. In comparison to the Harry Potter opening sequence, Monster inc. has a more cheerful nature to it, giving the sense that it is going to lead on to be a more cheerful kind of movie, something which could also appeal to parents as some parents may not like the level of graphic behaviour, although it's still appropriate, it could still be seen slightly untoward. The Harry Potter opening sequence is one that would appeal to the more curious aspect of most growing children, this is due to the eerie music, and dark on screen features such as mysterious clouds, thundering rain and how the camera is coming in from a high angle. All these aspects to the opening sequence add to the stereotypical features of an Adventure/Fantasy, but at the same time making it suitable for children of ages 6+.
