The Ring Title Sequence
Brief description:
What do you see?
This title sequence shows names of people involved in the film; the text looks hand drawn
instead of digitally produced and contrasts with the background. The background image
changes throughout and shows lots of creepy images.
Techniques used:
Animation, Visual Effects, Colour Rendering,
Graphics, Movement
The images in the background are blurred and images of a girl appear in the grain effect that is
used on the background images. There are no fast movements which creates a scary
atmosphere.
Advanced techniques:
Blur, Sharpen, Distortion, Rotation, Opacity
The whole title sequence looks distorted; this effect was used well and meets the horror movie
conventions.
Technical comments:
Video Format, Screen Ratio, Resolution,
Frame rate, Compression
1080p is used for the title sequence but as the image is meant to be distorted the quality
doesn’t look very good.
