Website- viemo.com

What titles are displayed during opening sequences?

There was only one thing that was displayed for the title sequence. This thing being the title of the movie, A Star is Born.

What images are prioritized in the opening sequences?

The words 'A Star is Born' are presented one by one. In each word a picture is presented within it. In the letter 'A' an eye can be seen. Then in the word 'Star', two figures are shown starring at each other. In the word 'Is', the two people are seen sitting on the floor working on what seems to be a song together. Lastly, in the word 'Born' you can only see one of the figures and they seem to be laying down. The images circulate around two people who seems to be interested in music

What connotations do these images carry?

The images gives off a memorable feeling. Knowing that the movie is based on a true story, the pictures of the two figures practicing gives a replay of something historical.

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

The film already establishes that there are two main characters, which is a male and a female who works together in the music industry. In the music industry, it is hard to get by without bumping into conflicts. You already conclude it is going to be a drama because without the conflicts in the story or plot the actual film would have never made it to the top.

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

The silence of the title scene was an strategy that was used. The silence of the sequence gives off an awaiting feeling towards the audience. 

How has technology been used effectively?

Technology was used effectively during the title sequence. The sequence was shorten because instead of singly putting pictures out, the pictures were engraved in the title. I feel like this was a clever way to make the title sequence. Some people can be impatient and a short title sequence with the help of technology was a bright idea.
