Title Research: Split


 This is from the website "Art of the Title": www.artofthetitle.com

  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? Production companies, name of the actors, the film creator, costume designers, etc.
  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  The opening sequence switches from the place the kidnapped girl is and the title screen. 
  3. What connotations do these images carry? The face-paced cutting between each scene is getting the audience immersed and prepared for what could possibly happen next. 
  4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? Non-diegetic sound is increasing the anxiousness one might feel watching this. 
  5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Since there are kidnapped girls the audience is sure to watch them try to escape or be tortured. Also the dim lighting and stereotypical creepy man. 
  6. How has technology been used effectively? The unfocused camera is a reflection of how the girl is feeling, perhaps lightheaded. The title sequence splits like the title name.
