The differences between the two titles sequences would be that they have different types of title sequences. Bend It Like Beckham has a title sequence of blank screen while Grease has a title sequence of animation. Grease is an example of a high school drama. High school dramas often focus on teens being young and having fun. An animation title sequence was well suited with this high school drama because animation is what we associate with as a young thing and also fun.
