Title Research: Venom

    While watching the opening sequence of Venom, I have noticed a lot of things.
There were 23 displayed opening sequences in the films. Some images pronotized in the opening sequences was a small video. The mini video in the beginning was about 5 seconds and it was a shot of the city and it included cars and buildings. After that, the rest of the video is filled with pictures that look kind of confusing. They are filled with black and white shapes, and it looks like someone is spilling black ink on a piece of paper and you are watching it spread. The connotations the images carry are a kind of horror feel. The pictures in it do give a thriller feeling too. And you can not really tell what the movie is going to be about just by the opening sequence. But the music may make you think that it will be a horror movie. Genre is reinforced through symbolic codes by setting, mise en scene, acting, and color. Genre is reinforced through technical codes by camerawork, audio, lighting, and editing. The film establishes enigma because of the pictures and the video in the beginning. You can not really tell what the movie is about just by watching the opening sequence. Some strategies that are used to ensure the film appeals its audience is by using very abstract pictures and audio. You have to have your opening sequence relate to your audience on a certain level to keep them interested. Technology has been used effectively by being able to photoshop different things into the film or pictures. You can edit different things into a opening sequences such as animation.
