Title Research: Dark

There are 9 titles;es displayed during the opening sequences to the film. These titles
include a combination of the major company in which the movie is being created from,
the director, the writer, the main characters, copyrights and more.

The images prioritized in the opening scene are the main characters, and the main
props shown in the film.
What connotations do the images carry?
These images are depicting the main pieces of evidence, and the main characters in the
movie. During a mystery movie, any piece of evidence is important, whether it is the people
or the props.
How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
The genre is portrayed through the music. The music is mysterious and ominous, leading
the audience to believe that something is going to happen soon. The music is crucial in the
mystery genre, because it adds to the effect of the audience not knowing what is going to
happen.
How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
Right from the beginning of the opening titles, I can sense the feel of mystery genre between
the music and the pictures itself. For example, it shows a chest. This chest is a prop in the
movie that is crucial to solving the mystery.
What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
The strategy that is being used to ensure that the right audience is being appealed is that
they are not giving the plot of the movie right away. This is effective in interesting the audience
to become mentally involved with the movie and become curious of what will happen. For
example, they do not give away what will happen or who committed the crime. Instead, they
just include certain aspects of the plot, like the chest, or the main characters.
How has technology been used effectively?
Technology is being used effectively through the sound, pictures and transitions between
them. Between every image, there is a smooth transition between every picture, showing
the proper use of technology. Additionally, they include mysterious sound to correspond
with the genre, and the images that directly correspond as well.
