Title Research: Godzilla

   I watched the opening sequence of Godzilla a couple of days ago, and there is a lot to unfold. There are 32 titles within the opening sequence. The images in the opening sequence prioritize the opening sequence by adding in suspense. There are explosions and a big monster in the ocean in the opening sequence. It causes suspense and fear. But it could also cause excitement because people do not know what is going to happen. The images carry the feeling of suspense, and anxiety. There are big explosions and a monsters going off in your face. And also there were helicopters and there was a big tsunami. The genre is reinforced with technical codes by the setting and audio. Symbolic codes were used mise en scene and colors as well. There was not that much color used in the actual opening sequence of this particular movie, but when there was color it was meant to be there for dramatic action. The film establishes enigma from the outset by giving the feeling of panic and drama. From the pictures and videos of fire, the tsunami, and helicopters, the audience could be feeling frightened or very interested. Some things that was used to ensure the audience would be interested is basically all of the action and explosions used in the sequence. The music could be a factor that was used as well. Lastly, technology was used effectively during this opening sequence by using editing and filming. Technology is a huge part in filming and doing almost everything with filming a movie or even just the opening sequence.
