title research: silent hill

 What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

During the opening sequences the credits were shown. There was spooking background images as-well. Then the title of the film "Silent Hill" was shown with a dark and mysterious background. There also seems to be someone looking for something/ someone with a flashlight. These scenes were animated and not real life things.


What imagines are prioritized in the opening sequence?


Making sure the audience is a little startled by the images portrayed. The freighting images and up-pace music kept you on your toes about what the film was going to be about. Also making sure all of the people involved in creating this film were mentioned and prioritized.


What connotations do these images carry?


These dark and mysterious images are little pieces feeding into the obscurity of the film. Not knowing what it is about, yet seeing all the daunting images. 


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


Silent Hill is a horror film about a sleep walking girl having nightmares about the town Silent Hill and the mystery of her going missing in a car crash while in the town Silent Hill, where her mother took her to find answers to what is happening. The genre is very much clear to the audience and is hugely portrayed as a horror film. 


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


The opening sequences make it very clear it is a horror film. Before the film has even started the audience will get to see the images that are setting a mysterious and frightening display. Anyone who is watching the film will know what they are getting into by watching the opening sequences.


How has technology been used effectively?


The transitions of scary images and effects are used as a background to introduce the credits and theme of the film. The different camera angles and shots also added dimension and character to even just the opening sequences. The background music wasn't too horrifying, it was fast pace which can make the audience feel alert and ready.

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
