Title design research: (thriller)

 1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?


Throughout the 3 minute and 30 second video, the video showed 32 titles scenes. This opening was more like an end credit, it included the producer companies, actors, producers, directors, etc. At the end of the title scene it showed "Splice" with the letters enlarged and held for a few seconds. The camera looked like it was going through the body of something and along the way titles would transition in and slowly fade and a new title was coming in. 



2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do they make you feel)

The title sequences first contains images of many different x-rays with titles in every other picture. After, it is like a camera quickly moving through the body of what seems like a snake, very closely and quickly. You can't really tell what it is to be exact but if i were to make a guess it would be a snake as there were scales peeling and when it peeled back and moved inside there were veins like on the inside of a body. It makes me feel unsafe because I cannot really tell what is going on, the music in the back was like creepy classical music, often used in thrillers and horror movies.



3. How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is)

The genre is reinforced through the fact that the music is creepy and you can't really tell what is going on. It makes you clueless and question things because you're just lost the whole time until the plot starts to come in. It keeps you on your toes and you don't really know what to expect next. The music in the back is the type in horror movies that would slowly play when something creepy is happening.



4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

To start, it is important to note the audience that would be interested in this film. The cover picture looks like a doll split down the middle and the name of the movie is "Splice", you can't exactly assume what this movie is about by looking at it like that. You would have to watch the trailer which is meant to rope people in. Curious people are the type to watch thrillers because they point is to be thrilled with the movie, this includes surprises and leads on curiosity.

Genre research : (comedy)

       The first genre that our group chose is comedy. Here are the common camera angles, mis-en-scene, sounds, editing. As well as some example films. Common Angles: There are many different angles that are widely used in the comedy genre. To start, commonly extreme close ups as well as close up shots are used. These shots are usually shown to help the audience understand or grasp on the humor portrayed by facial expressions, and reactions from the subjects on the film. Furthermore, other angles are widely seen in comedy, like wide shots. Wide shots are used mainly to fit a large gathering into one shot, and by doing this it opens the door to group comedy, and other characters to fit into the scene or story play. Finally, the last common camera angle that we see a lot in this genre is eyeline shots. An eyeline shot in comedy is the subjects way to often tell the audience directly, the joke or line being said. These are some common angles that are used in comedy!! Co...
