We watched the opening titles of "Zen" a crime drama set in Italy and made by the BBC. The opening titles are colourised like the Italian flag and also show snippets of landmarks in Italy which all give us clues as to where the show is set. We see a whole line of parked cars, all of which are Fiat's, an Italian make. The opening title sequence also has black bars going across it which resemble prison bars, adding to the theme of crime which the show follows. Also, we see silhouettes of handguns which seem to appear in a sort of x-ray vision, suggesting that people who seem normal could be hiding guns, and this also adds to the mystery and crime feeling of the whole show and most certainly adds the feeling of crime to the title sequence. We also so people sneaking around looking like they're hiding and spying on other people, adding to the suspense of the title sequence and also the rest of the show.
