Title Research: 30 Days of Night

 -What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

The opening scene starts with the title of the movie then the audience is confronted with a sequence of highly disquieting images that cross-dissolve or fade to black. Credits are also shown as these images are shown with the eerie music in the background.


-What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?


Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shadows, a bloody tooth embedded in a thick layer of ice, and references to the Alaskan winter cape, this represents the concept of the movie which is a thriller with horror elements about an isolated town in Alaska where the sun sets and doesn’t rise again for thirty consecutive days each year then vampires on a path of destruction ravage the town.


-What connotations do these images carry?


The burned photos and eerie shattered artifacts slowly reveal the untold horrors the town faced. They also create the eerie image of this horror movie for the audience before it even starts. 


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


The feeling of the genre is established by the aesthetic of the opening sequence. 


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


The producer sets the tone and creates an image for the audience before it even starts, showing that the movie is a horror movie. The images shown create a mystery for the audience to figure out how those images associate in the movie. 


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


Animations of images are used throughout the whole opening sequence, with the use of editing the producers were able to create an eerie feeling with the spooky images and the background music.

Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Image
  In order to research and prepare for making my short film, I compared a short called Le Jetee and an article that describes 12 Monkeys. Le Jetee is a short film and 12 Monkeys is a full length movie based off of the film. My original google search gave me a description of Le Jetee and I think I will like it a lot. Short Film: To be brutally honest, Le Jetee left a mediocre impression on me. I like the foreign feel of the film and the introduction felt like where I got the bulk of the information. It was hard to process everything after the introduction, to be honest. There was so little and so much going on at the same time if that makes sense. There were images throughout which were kind of confusing but it made a bit of sense after I looked up how old this film was. I really didn't get the plot other than the parts with like time travel and Paris. It may have been a dystopia but I couldn't really tell. This might help with my mystery genre with the style of Le Jetee. I want
