Women in black analysis(titles)

The film opening begins directly with the titles. The media language immediately tells the audience they are watching a thriller. The titles are very simplec and have a black background and simple block font, in a an mucky white colour.
The letters appear to have little chunks missing out of them. Sometimes on some of the letters there is also a faint blsck shadow along the back of some of the letters. The imperfect font connotes imperfection; something wrong, as does the off-white colour. The black background together with the shadows connote fear.
This will be immediately recognisable to the audience as iconography associated with the thriller genre.


Stormbreaker Analysis(titles)

Tis film opening starts with some action of a man on a motorbike, coming out of an explosion with a group of men following him. immediatley when the film begins we know what sort of film we are going to be watching and as the men are all riding very flash bikes and are wearing sort of a uniform, this connoes that they re perhaps secret agents or of a group that are meant to be similar. the titles to this film aree very differetn to that of women in black. These titles flash up on scrren in a simple white colour, they appear on screen next to the character they are playing. the fact that the beginning of the story starrts with an explosion triggers to the audience the iconography of a family action movie and this iconography carries on throughout the film.


Our film(titles)

After watching several films in order to research how titles are used in opening sequences, we decided on a way to open our own film. we liked the idea of stormbreaker incorporating there titles into the story,because if we go staright into our story we will engage our target teenage audience immediatle. Our media class found the opening titles to women in black boring and we loast interest before the film had even started. In our film when the door slams in the theatre the screen will go black and the title "FEARtre" will appear in writing and slide off the scrren like blood dripping, this iconography of blood helps inform the audience of the genre of the film and creates a sinister atmosphere. once the story starts from here onwards we are going to have our titles flashing up on screen whilst we see a still shot of the theatre in dim light.
