What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
The opening scene of the movie focused mainly on following around different aspects of a room and enticing the viewer with various uses of strong, "scary" music. The entire opening was set in a black and white filter with red, sort of dripping and bloody, text. There was no particular main main aspect of this intro rather than a them e it follow oof keeping details similar and the same. There was a transition shot that seemed to have included some animation at the very beginning that was the lightbulb hanging at the top of the ceiling.
What Connotations do these images carry?
The main connotation I got from this was very hideous in the sense that it was frightening. I had started watching this opening sequence last night and had to stop myself fro watching it because I got so scared. There is a strong image around the middle of the opening of a scary, almost rotted woman holding a doll. This excites a strong sense of far in the viewer and beginning to strongly introduce that idea that this movie is very horror filed and going to take some scary turns along the way.
How is the Genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
For one the dark and gloomy grey filter/lighting suggest a feeling of danger and misery or sadness. Not the bright happy colors you would typically see if something good is going to happen. As well as the music in the background is very high pitched and solemn. The music is also echo in a sense as if it was to never go away. This alludes and introduces a type of queasy feeling viewers are going to get watching this movie. The intricate expression of sounds also alludes to complete silence and quietness.

Some mysterious questioning aspects begin the the first seconds of the movie when a mysterious, almost rotten character seems to be hiding in a closet holding a creepy doll. This scene then cuts to a blank screen beginning to introduce movie studios etc. leaving the viewer confused as to what had just happened. Also the fact that the end of the opening sequence there is a woman waking up in her bed lie she knew where she was bt the beginning of the sequence shows creatures living in her home. The woman wakes up with no care as if she wasn't aware that such things were inhabiting her home.
What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
It keeps with the theme of what genre the movie is which falls into a more horror/thriller aspect. Things that are mysterious, scary, out of the ordinary, and sometimes on events or people you are typically wanted to stay away form during your years of childhood and development. The opening sequence of the movie does a very goos job and contrasting and falling into many of those things as it is something that in rather out of the ordinary. The showing of a child sleeping and haunting monsters. Then the mother and family waking up without a care as if they didn't know what was gun gun around them in the darkness of the night. Creatures living in their home, haunting and stalking them. The family being completely unaware. It entices the viewer to see what's to come an hoe the family finds out.
How was technology been used effectively?
The use of camera movements helps to really portray what happening to the person who the camera is focusing on. Fr example the way the camera moves around the house and the different rooms as if it was "walking through" does a good job of showing how and where weird creatures may be lurking around the house. It also portrays a sense of distance and length the characters are from one another. There is a child and a mom and through the way the camera movies we can see that they are somewhat far from each other. This can emphasize a sense of danger as if they are so far apart, especially the child as they tend to be the "targets" in scary movies, that they are more vulnerable to being attacked and not getting help quick enough.
