Title Research: Dr. No (teen drama)

Watch The Titles, Teen Drama

1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequence to the film?

  • There were 26 titles displayed in the opening sequence.
2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
  • There are dots forming and moving around the screen thoughout most of the opening where the titles get lined up and displayed.
3. What connotations do the images carry?
  • The opening sequence show the dots and unrelated images in the intro to create suspence in the audience and creating a feeling that anything can happen at any point.
4. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
  • In the first couple of seconds, a man fires a gun towards the camera/screen then it goes still and is covered with red. No one knows what happened but it causes suspence and drama to come.
5. How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
  • There is no sense of what will happen and a lack of background information. And when the gun went off everything stopped.
6. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
  • They are creating a suspenceful and confusing feeling throughout the opening to keep the watching.
7. How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques.
  • There were no camera angles used because the opening was animated. The transitions made each part of the opening sequence flow well together due to the editing and colors used.
