2. From this title sequence the audience can tell that It is a children's film due to it being a cartoon
and the main focus of dolls. This also indicates that it may be mainly aimed at girls because dolls
tend to be associated with girls. Although it looks like a children's film the title sequence portrays
the film as quite dark and scary as the dolls are being taken apart, which is shown as quite a
negative thing although they are then remade after.
3. The music used in this title sequence is quite dark and scary to start of with. Its quite
tense as the volume of the music increases quickly and then decreases again suddenly
which could make the audience feel nervous and unsure of what is going on as it
almost tricks them. The music pace also increases and decreases through out this title
sequence which also may have the same effect on the audience. There is also a range
of voices used in the music including children singing this also indicates that it is a
child's film as they are the main vocal part of the title sequence. Towards the end of
the title sequence the music becomes more upbeat and cheery which indicates it may
be a happy film with some sort of dark twist in it due to the dark low toned beginning.
I think this particular music was chosen as it suits the title sequence itself really well, it
suits the darkness of the dolls being taken apart and the end part of the music where
it becomes more happy emphasizes the good of the doll being remade.
4. By this title sequence it is difficult for the audience to work out the setting as
it is confusing. The doll comes through a window which indicates some form
of house as it looks as if it comes into a bedroom. This thought is then
changed when a box of tools is shown which shows in may be in some form of
a factory, also because of the large shelves on the walls and the draws of
equipment such as buttons. Over all the audience is left some what unaware
of the setting of the film although they can see that it may have some relation
to a factory because of the mending of the doll, or a bedroom as that is
usually where children keep their toys. This may show that the film may be a
family film as the location looks some what homely (being in a bedroom.)
5. Many shot angles are used through out which allows the audience to see
clearly everything that is going on.
The main shot that is used is Close ups,which allow
you to see the detail of the stitching going on
which may highlight the importance of the
remaking of the dolls, as it may be a main part of
the film. It also makes the audience feel more
engaged with the film as they see every little
detail.
6. The titles are written in stitching in the title sequence which also highlights the main
focus of the film which is sewing and dolls (remaking them.) The button also emphasizes
the importance of the stitching and indicates to the audience the film may be focused
around them. The stitching may also represent feminine view of the film as one of the
connotations to sewing is women, so this may show that the film may be aimed at girls
more then boys.
