Title Research: Velvet Buzzsaw

The second movie title sequence that I have decided to research is called Velvet Buzzsaw. This opening sequence comes from the website www.artofthetitle.com
1)How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?
In this title sequence, there were 17 titles displayed. Each title was displayed on the screen using a fade in and fade out effect.
2)What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
The images that were displayed in this title sequence was actually drawings. This drawing included a man staring at a painting, a man almost burning in the fire, and a woman smoking. Each drawing transformed into a new drawing. For example, the smoke from the burning fire would enlarge into a new drawing, which would be the woman smoking.
3)What connotations do the images carry?
The connotations that these images carry translate into a larger message, which can show how art is always transforming into something new every time depending on the way someone may look at the drawing.
4)How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
The genre of mystery is reinforced symbolically through the usage of art. By using the abstract language of art, the audience is left puzzled by the way this will relate to the movie later on. Additionally, the genre is also expressed technically through the usage of transitions. The audience is again left wondering how each image relates to the next, and whether this gives an insight into the upcoming plot of the movie.
5)How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
The film established an enigma by using drawings. Due to art being subjective to almost every human being, the meaning of the drawings is left as an enigma, as its meaning may not be truly discovering until the movie reveals it.
6)What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
The complex usage of transitions and art allows it to appeal to its target audience of adults, rather than children.
7)How has technology been used effectively? (You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques)
Technology has been used effectively through the usage of transitions, along with digital art which was used throughout the entire sequence.
