Title Research: Thriller

Hello, today I will be talking about the design and title aspect of the movie: “split”. I got these titles from the website: artofthetitle.

- How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film: There are ten titles displayed during the opening sequence including the producer, director, and the visual effects supervisors.

-What images are prioritized in the opening sequence: The images prioritized in the opening sequence are mainly clips or quick scenes of the main characters and the main setting in which the movie will take place. These clips are shown in quick flashes and give the audience context or background to the movie.

-What connotations do the images carry: The images connote the suspense of the film itself. It gives one of the main characters a sense of fear and desperation, and gives the other main character a sense of overwhelming power; this intrigues then audience and encourages them to continue watching. 

-How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset: The thriller genre was generally created to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. This is achieved through suspense of the film and uncertainty of the audience. The genre is reinforced through the opening sequence by including small flashing clips of the scene that emphasize the fear and shock that the female actor of the film is feeling. They also followed conventions adding pans and tilts of the flashing scenes throughout the sequence. 

-How does the film establish enigma from the outset: The film establishes enigma through the escalation of the suspenseful music.

-What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience: The emotion used throughout the clips assisted in pulling the audience in. Pathos was used as a strategy to evoke emotion amongst the audience.
