Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay on the thematic thrust of the opening credits sequence of HBO\u2019s Succession.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest. I mean, we\u2019re friends here. This is a no-judgment zone, right? Look: when it comes to the opening credits of the HBO drama <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> <em><strong>Succession<\/strong><\/em>, the first thing you think about\u00a0<em>isn\u2019t\u00a0<\/em>the visuals. It\u2019s that banger series theme by Nicholas Britell, that plunky auditory mish-mash of hip-hop beats and grandiose classical music.<\/p>\n<p>But once you\u2019ve wrenched yourself out of Britell\u2019s 808-induced daze, we\u2019d recommend giving the opening credits\u2019 visuals a closer look. Created by <strong>Picturemill<\/strong> (the same title design studio behind\u00a0<em>Mission Impossible: III<\/em>, <em>Panic Room<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Signs<\/em>), the opening credits to\u00a0<em>Succession\u00a0<\/em>sum up the series\u2019 key themes with insinuation and flashbacks.<\/p>\n<p>In the opening sequence, grainy 8mm footage and static VHS tapes show the Roy children struggling with the tension that will plague them into adulthood: the murky waters of family and business (and the family business) that taints their entire lives.<\/p>\n<p>A garden-side family get-together is a pretense for business dealings; a childhood home does double time as physical evidence of wealth and empire; and a patriarchal presence looms large, be it at the head of the dinner table or behind closed doors. Gradually, more modern footage of the Roy family\u2019s media empire seeps in through the cracks.<\/p>\n<p>The emphasis is clear and unambiguous: for the Roy children, there is no divide between work and play, familial affection, and drama-fraught business dealings.<\/p>\n<p>As the video essay below lays out in greater detail,\u00a0<em>Succession<\/em>\u2018s opening does what the best openings do: it sets the stage for the main theme that will echo and unspool over the course of the series.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CDecoding_Successions_Opening_Credits%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cDecoding Succession\u2019s Opening Credits\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Decoding Succession&#039;s Opening Credits\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6GPMw5Uz2Js?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"block-19294f9d-99fc-4cee-8ca7-135f7eaf7b45\">This video essay on the opening credits sequence of\u00a0<em>Succession<\/em> comes courtesy of <strong>Now You See It<\/strong>.
