Hey Blog!!
So, the next film we're going to be discussing the opening sequence to is The Reaping a film introduced in the year 2007. I've watched the opening sequence of this film and studied it based on our horror genre. I examined it due to the following questions.
How many titles are displayed during the opening sequence?
The amount of titles in the opening sequence are 20 titles total. It starts off with series of main actors and producers and closes out with company presented by which in this case is the Warner Brothers.
What images are prioritized?
The images prioritize are very vague they do not show clear imaging of what exactly is taking place.
What connotations do the images carry?
The images has you feeling very intense, anxious and anticipated as to what's occurring and what's happening.
How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
I would definitely say the genre is enforced through the score the opening sequence. The bumps along the music takes you on a roller coaster through emotions.
How did the film establish an enigma from the outset?
The enigma in the film established is very intense and dramatic the way that was established was through the use of different elements of filming as well, such as sound: the extremely suspenseful instrumental. There are flashes with the use of editing, and lighting as well contributing to the mood and theme of the genre.
What strategies does the film used to ensure that the film is appealing to it's target audience?
The film uses a certain aesthetic throughout the film, and the color design is very dark themed. The font used was a red font.
How was the technology used effectively?
There are no camera angles of any sort used in the opening sequence more so graphics and mainly editing. With editing there were a couple of fade ins- and different sorts of transitions to move the titles along. The titles also had a floating effect making a dramatic entrance each time through the sequence.
