Title Research- THE ACTION GENRE

 Title Research: Action Genre


What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?


Researching on the watch the titles website, Ronneka and I studied the opening sequence from the movie Captain Marvel.  The sequence starts off by including titles for the directors, screenwriters, story writers, producers,  photographer director, production designers, and editors, costume designer, visual effects designer and producer, music director, and cast directors.  It then goes on to list main characters in the movie.


What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

There is no specific image being prioritized due to the fact that the images switch with each new title.  One clip that we did notice was that the beginning and end of the sequence starts the same way.  The beginning starts with some sort of shooting star.  This is then showed again at the end but its dragged until to show that the so called "shooting star," is actually Captain Marvel.


What connotations do these images carry?

These images helps to give off a feeling of excitement.  The setting of space with the stars, planes, and people helps to set a good mood for the audience before the movie actually begins.  It also helps to give the audience some insight into the movie before it starts.  It helps to get the reader curious and interested.


How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

Many different strategies are used in order to establish the feeling of action in the sequence.  For example, the music choice is a big factor that helps to determine the genre.  The movie is very upbeat and loud which helps to give off the feeling of action and exhilaration. Another strategy is the use of the shooting star and the fact that it is actually a person and not a asteroid.  This helps to show the audience the superpowers this women has and how she is most likely to use them in this film.


What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

Many different strategies are used in order to ensure that the film appeals to the target audience.  For example, include a clear close up shot of Captain Marvel with eyes that are glowing helps to grab the audiences attention.  Another example is the use of upbeat music because it helps to pump up the mood of the audience.


How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques.

Technology has been used effectively in this opening sequence by using transitions with editing techniques.  For example, the opening sequence includes seamless transitions with the editing technique known as fade in and fade out.  Using these editing techniques helps connect everything in a smooth but still exciting way.
