Title Research: Get Out

Hey guys , welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be researching the different titles of movies and the titles I will be looking at today come from the movie "Get which I got from the "Art of the Title" website you read about earlier. I will not answer the questions about the opening sequence below.


 1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

During the opening sequence of the "Get Out" movie many titles are displayed. Specifically the title of the production companies, the title of the movie, the actors and actresses, the name of the casting head, the head of the music for the film, the maker of the music, the costume designer, the editor for the film, the production designer, the photography director, the producers, the executive producers, and finally the director who is also the writer. 

2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences?

In this film, the opening sequence the images prioritized seem normal. When watching a movie, you tend to watch the trailer first and knowing this movie is a horror, but in the opening sequence theres pictures of baking, taking pictures, the woods, and of people shaving. 

3. What connotations do these images carry?

I think that the images within itself connotate an even more spooky vibe. Knowing this movie is a horror, you expect to see gore immediately but the fact that these images carry a normal connotation but gives off a scary vibe. 

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

The opening sequence establishes the feeling of the genre horror because it creates tension and unease through how normal the images are. Knowing this movie is a horror, it becomes more scary because it gives a fear of the unknown as what you expect is not being show . From the opening sequence it seems happy. But, that fear it invokes of being questionable builds the horror genre's overall sense.

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

I think this movie is meant to appeal to that horror lover audience. But this movie does it in a special way by using a reverse scare tactic. People expect that gore and fright immediately but here things seem too normal. I think this is intentional as it gives the audience something new and breaks the conventions of horror.

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

Theres many shots depicted in the opening sequence like a wide show of the woods and the road, a close up of the man shaving, and a close up of the man's camera where you kind of get a little fear as its a spider. The editing which were constant cuts like the shots were pretty simple but I think because of how simple it is it impacts you to wonder what will happen next as this is supposed to be horror genre. 


Thanks for reading my blog , be back to see the next horror movie I pick and research their title use in their opening sequence!
