How does the title sequence establish genre, character and narrative?
In this title sequence, background music only starts after around half a minute. The music is very deep and has a foreign/alien feeling. This would lead the audience to believe that the movie is either sci-fi or supernatural horror. The narrative is only developed by a alien looking spaceship entering the Earth's atmosphere, this suggests that the movie is about an alien that has landed on Earth. Character is not established.
How does the title sequence attract an audience’s interest?
The title sequence does not give away the plot, resulting in the audience wanting to watch more so that they can understand the movie more. This method works in a similar way as a cliff hanger, where the audience want to see more.
What do you consider to be the target audience of the film and why?
The film has a mass audience but is more specifically aimed at Group C2 audience as they can relate more to the characters in the film. The characters are pilots, engineers and similar professions, these relate mostly to group C2 audiences, who are skilled tradesmen.
From the opening I am unable to determine the age rating, but having seen scenes of the movie I would determine the movie to be an 18+ movie. This is because there are many graphic scenes which are unsuitable for young audiences. The film also contains mild language which is inappropriate for children below twelve. The movie is actually rated 16 as although violence is bad, language and other aspects are very moderate. The movie is also not scary or jumpy enough to be an 18.
Who has produced the film and how is that evident in the title sequence?
The film was produced by David Foster and Lawrence Turman. This is stated at around 1 minute into the title sequence.
