 How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?

 Which ones?

In the opening sequence of the final destination there are 25 titles that are shown. They were designer, coordinator, music by, etc. They were used to give credit to the people who worked on the film.


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

The connotations that the images carry are a scared and uneasy feeling. Seeing as though it is a horror movie that would be the case. The imagery used in the sequence is amazing. It shows people dying in x-ray vision. It is brutal and it is supposed to make you feel scared. It also made me feel concerned for the characters and what will happen to them. The images also made me feel scared for what I may witness as a viewer.


How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?  

(Can you tell what genre the film is)

The way that the genre is reinforced is by the fact that the sequence in itself is incredibly brutal. It shows people dying in a somewhat “upsetting” way. It also gives the idea of what the movie will be like. Since the movies in the final destination always show people dying in horrible ways, the opening sequence does a good job of showing the idea of the film. It also does a good job of showing what the audience would find interesting/ exciting and entertaining.


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

The conventions that were used that ensured that the film appeals to its target audience were imagery,Typography, editing, and camera movement. The sequence looks “edgy” which would appeal to its audience. I feel like the target audience are males age 16-28, and the fact that it shows people dying would also appeal to them. They would also like the fact that it is really cool. They also made sure to move the camera in a way that would make sure that the audience keeps full attention to the opening sequence. It is also keeping them excited to see the rest of the film.

 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. These being placed in the title screen or the opening gives credit where it's due for the audience to gather their attention and the crew mates as well.   What connotations do these images carry? According to cultural convention, imagery can represent feelings and mood. Words, soun...
