  My group and I were brainstorming ideas and we finally came up with an intro that flows and works well. Our storyboard and ideas will probably change throughout our filming process but this is our base for when we begin developing the video. We all collaborated on some ideas we thought would look good in the intro.

The color red for the title fits well and compliments the rabbits eyes while also being the pop of color in this opening sequence. The dim lighting can make the mood unsettling and is a great introduction for the rest of the movie. 5. How does the film establish an eni...

  1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? There are about 4 main titles and several clips in the first few minutes displaying the actors/film crews names. 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? In the opening scene the house is prioritized but it then switches to the boat that Bill is making 3. What connotations do the images carry? The boat plays an important role a little bit later in the film and is the start to the whole problem which is the reason that they prioritize it in the opening scene. 4. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? The background music is lighthearted but since the audience knows it is a horror movie it gives the music a dramatic and eerie vibe. The camera captures each step Bill takes to create this boat for Georgie and it adds an uneasy tension to the audience because since this is a remake of the original movie many people already know that this boat is very symboli...
