  1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequence to the film? Which ones? 

Within Suicide Squad, a total of 34 titles are displayed on screen. The sequence includes the actors, directors, costume designers and producers.


  1. What connotations do the images carry? (how do they make you feel)? 

The images give a sense of danger. The sequence begins with a scene that seems like things are being thrown at you immediately.Then the sequence begins to spin a multitude of objects that are associated with hazards for example, bullets, guns and bombs. Along with weapons, a showcase of skeletons and loose skulls began to show as the camera was drawn back. Another connection is the display of the actors. Along with the actors name prop are shows that refer to the character which contain weapons and fire. 


  1. How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (can you tell what genre it is)

The genre is reinforced through sound and visuals. The song “Heathens” correlates to the genre. The beat along with the gun sound effects added in adds a sense of suspense and adaptation. Along with the beat, the meaning behind the lyrics hint at action. The use of the word heathen is used as a term to call a person who lacks basic morals. This single word tells the listener that this movie will be action filled with people who have no morals. Then the visual usage of explosions to introduce the actors along with guns, bullets and syringes inform the audience of an action pack movie. 


  1. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? 

The conventions used in suicide squad is nolstolgia. The movie is based off of a team up within DC comics,  a popular comic publishing company. They included iconic characters like Joker and Harley Quinn. The usage of these well-known characters is that fans of them will attend. Along with popular characters, the opening song includes a popular band. The band, Twenty One Pilots, has a large fan base which draws a lot of people to the movie by association.

 To begin, I'd like to acknowledge that filming began and concluded today, and I couldn't be happy than I am right now. Now that it's over, I'm relieved of a lot of worry, and I'm looking forward to seeing everything edited. When we were trying to film, there were a lot of stressful and annoying moments, but I'm glad we were able to get through them. There have been so many issues involving groupmates being irritated by one another, and I'm glad we can finally get this resolved. I really didn't like staying after school to go to the park to film but hey it got the job done and I barely made it home before the sun went down so it was a win win. On both sides I'm sure all groupmates felt the same way about our plans on filming. To be really honestly No matter how much I rather be at home its was quite enjoyable to spend time after school with friends. It was nice to mess around and laugh while filming. It was awkward when more people arrived at the par...

 Props - For this music video, we decided on going for a story that follows a group of friends that slowly fall apart as one person drifts away. Since we want to capture a scene with the friends on the beach, beach towels, hats and beach balls will be present. Costumes - This part will be very easy in our opinion as we will have regular swimming wear or just causal clothing. Though their will be scenes that won't be on the beach so their might be changes in clothing. For the swimming wear, it will completely up to the actors of what they are comfortable on wearing this shoot. Nothing to covered or revealing will be disagreed upon as the actors concern worths more. I'm sure most outfits people would chose are short pants with a t-shirt. Schedule - Be aware that these dates might not accurate as we will need to see for ourselves if these can work with our schedules. 11/16/2021, our group will finalize our ideas of what we want for this project. 11/17/2021, our group will gather t...

  What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?A title sequence (also known as an opening sequence or intro) is a means of presenting a film or television show's title, as well as important production and cast members, through the use of innovative graphics and sound (often an opening theme song with visuals, akin to a brief music video). This is often seen in fiction work like Harry Potter and is often seen in their movies and many other ones as well.   What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? In harry potter, there would be clips and images of characters that will take a big role in the film. Usually these characters are the main three, Harry, Ron and hermione.

According to cultural convention, imagery can represent feelings and mood. Words, soun...
