The Sopranos Title Sequence

The Sopranos has been around since 1999 and have always kept the same 1ntro sequence "Woke Up This Morning" has now become renowned for being the sopranos theme tune.
I have watched the sopranos since it was 1st aired on UK TV and nothing got me as excited as the buildup that this intro produces.
The shots of new jersey give the audience a great location, a location which is known worldwide for its hard work and unappreciated aesthetic. Also quite conveniently its the home of Italian organized crime (Mafia)
The close up shots of tony soprano gives the audience a sense of his wealth, stature and power over the surrounding areas.

It is the subtle inclusion of all components to the program, the music is bluesy but exciting, with the mention of guns relating to the crime and more violent parts of the series, the extreme close ups not giving away the identity of the character tony soprano and yet his power and wealth are not missed. The landscape shots combined with the confident nature of the character shows an idea of ownership. All in all a fantastic stylish sum up of the series which has never needed to be changed.
