The student researched conventions of the genre to understand typical elements like title display times. Their initial title design used a red effect but they changed it to be more mysterious based on research. They learned animation techniques in After Effects. While their establishing shot initially broke conventions by using a close-up, research helped them structure the sequence better by sticking to genre norms.

Theory - Roland Barthes - Media
Roland Barthes was a semiotician who built upon Saussure's theories of semiotics. He believed that cultural influences shape the meanings of media texts over time. Barthes also explored how myths are created through social values and systems. In his work Mythologies, he analyzed how visual symbols and images in works of art can become elevated to the status of modern myths.
