Title research: Gone Girl (2014)

 

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? 

-I got the film from Art of the Title. It displayed the film distribution and production company. Next the title of the movie. Next the names of the all the lead actresses and actors in the movie.Next all the people who does things in the background which are casting, sound, music film editor, costume designer, production designer, etc.  

What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

- The images were of the  name of the the film distribution and production company. Then it was of of of the main characters in the film. Next it showed a series of images around town. It finally ended with showing another of the main characters going into the house.

What connotations do these images carry? 

-These show that the film is mainly on these two people and the setting of the town. Where these two are important to the film.

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

- They show the connection between the two main character we see, where we can feel this involves love and maybe a disappearance or lost of connection. We can tell this from how they show the town the expression that were shown at the end of the title sequence. We can also tell for how long the guys stand outside. We can also tell from the time was getting late where it looks like he was waiting for someone to come home. This could possibly means someone is missing. So we might sense that the genre is a thriller. We might also think its a mystery too.

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

- They included dialogue that intrigue the audience to know what this is about love. This can appeal to the audience that want to see love and relation. The ending shows that something isn't right. Where this may appeal to the audience that want to experience suspense. Both of these help bring in a mystery to attract viewers who are into thriller.

 How has technology been used effectively? 

- The film used many camera angles and editing tactics. They used close ups, mid shots and wide shots. The editing changes the scenes by cutting quickly to them and use camera movements to go on to the next scene. The transitions were smooth.
