Image 1 presents us with a cartoon high angle image of
a city with the titles in the middle of the screen, the
title text is in block form and also red, this could be
symbolizing that something bad is going to happen
straight away as red is a connotation of a thriller film as
it represents death and danger.
3. Image 2
Image 2 presents us with a closer view of the city with
the titles placed at the bottom of the screen, when
looking closer at the image you see red sky, this could
be some sort of sympathetic fallacy as to something bad
happening. This makes the audience wonder why the
opening sequence is a cartoon yet the film is not.
4. Image 3
Image 3 presents us with a pano shot over looking a
prison with the sky also being red, this suggests the film
is about a prison, the titles are all a cream color, this is
to make the titles stand out from the rest of the things
going on. This makes the audience curious as to what
is going on.
5. Image 4
Image 4 presents us with wide shot of police officers
surrounding a building, holding guns, this suggests the
film is about the police searching for someone as they
could of escaped the prison shown previously in the
opening sequence.
6. Image 5
Image 5 presents us with a aerial shot of the city
including lots of shadows, this is also a connotation of
a thriller as it brings suspense and mystery to the film. I
also noticed that everything is in black and white other
than one building, which is red, this could suggest the
antagonist could be inside hiding from the police we
saw.
7. Image 6
Image 6 presents us with an extreme close up of a gun
which is ready to be shot by one of the characters, this
could suggest that whatever the antagonist has done
must be bad as the characters want him dead. This
makes the audience feel scared and suspense as
someone is about to get shot.
8. Image 7
Image 7 presents us with an extreme close up of a
characters face which is focusing on a different gun,
this suggests that more than one person is after the
antagonist.
9. Image 8
Image 8 presents us with a high angle shot of a
helicopter, this suggests that a lot of being are after this
antagonist. I also noticed that the titles were placed on
the wing of the helicopter, in white text to bring
attention to it.
10. Image 9
Lastly image 9 presents us with an extreme close up of
a gun which then leads to a man holding it to his head,
this straight away brings tension and suspense to the
film, it makes the audience feel scared and concerned
for that character and makes them want to ask why
that character is holding a gun and why is he pointing
it to himself.
