Title Research: Get Out

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?



The usual title conventions, usually ones regarding the credits, like usual, giving the various writers, directors, etc their kudos for what they've done. One interesting thing is the text, the way they show and potray it. In many different movies, the text can also help give these title sequences life.



What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?



Images that are prioritized in the opening sequence are ones that remain relatively normal. Almost too normal. It's things like driving, baking, eating, cooking, but something doesn't seem right. It's almost absolute in a sort of way.



What connotations do these images carry?



These images manage to carry a regular, basic connotation, but also bring an unwavering sort of tension too. These things seem regular, normal, but it's too normal. Oftentimes films are began in a sort of way that shows the things that are wild, wacky, intriguing, or horrifying. But this film is different. It's too normal, too minute.



How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?



Yes, the idea is that it's tension filled. It's minute. It's too normal to the point where it's unsettling, and that's where the fear comes from. The fear of the unknown. The thing that makes you question things. It's such a happy thing that you wonder what the point of the movie is. It does get worse, but the question is when? Why? It's the important factor that really helps establish the feeling of the Horror Genre.



What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?



Again, this was intended to really be a reverse psychology type of thing. While people normally expect in horror thrillers something uncertain and scary, in this particular case, it is too... normal. I was questioning the whole thing when i watched it and i was wondering what would happen. The weird thing is... Nothing happened... at all. But this is a horror movie? So why? It's making me think and question and getting involved in the movie. I think this is intended.



How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques.



Well, yes! the various shots, like the long shot of the road, and the close up of the man shaving. It's really simple, yet somehow manageably effective in how it's done. It's too simple to the point where i'm expecting something to happen. It's meant to simulate life, a simple life. Maybe before something happens? Editing was cuts, just straight cuts to show the progression of life. It's simple, yet somehow impactful. I watched this on Artofthetitles.
