Title Research : Action genre

1.What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? On the website www.artofthetitle.com, we clicked on the opening sequence of a movie called Desus Ex: Mankind Divide.The titles that were displayed at first were the main actors names that were in the movie then the film makers name were presented. The next titles were the production people names like the people that made the music and programmers.

2.What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images that were prioritized was someone in a body of water. The person is laying in the middle of a body of water which we conclude that the person is drowning and pasted out. Then, the images shown seems like the person's memories and what that person experienced in their lifetime.

3.What connotations do these images carry? The connotations these images carry is that it gives off the feeling of a hectic situation and a thrilling sense. In the images it looks like a calm scene but to the audience it looks hectic since a person is just in the middle of the ocean and passed out. Later on, the images shown seems random but gives a thrilling feeling because of the background music choice.


4.How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? The film established the feeling of the action genre by using zoom movement and ominous sound for the outset.This creates the feeling of eventful and excitement which is what the whole action genre is about. Also, the outset consisted of the main elements of the action genre which set the feeling for the rest of the opening sequence.


5.What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? The opening sequence uses many strategies in that short amount of time to appeal to its targeted audience. One of the strategies is using sound effects that enhances a man falling out the sky into a body of water which appeals to the audience because it will capture their attention easily. Another strategy is that the film uses a black screen instead of transitioning straight into the next scene which creates the feeling of excitement.The audience is now intrigued on what is going to happen next and is expecting some type of action for the next scene. 


6.How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques. The high angle captures the intensity of the scene and shows the whole aspect of the scene to the audience. The film also uses a low angle which helps the audience see the details of the scene at a different perspective while still showing all aspects of the scene. Both of these angles play an effective role because they both have a significant impact on the audience's understanding and engagement.The zoom movement grasps the audience's attention quickly by showing the details of the scene up close which is a very effective way. The ominous sounds used is one of the most effective ways because it creates an exciting feeling for the audience since the sound is so suspenseful and fast paced.
