Title Research (Gone Girl)

 Hello, my loyal listeners I am back and breaking down the titles of Gone Girl by the use of artofthetitle.com. It is a thriller with a crazy opener. Now I have to answer these questions so bear with me but It will give you an idea of this amazing creative opener.

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? 

The titles displayed are first the studious that produce make this film with their classic pictures. After the studious are credited the directors are acknowledged and the opening scenes start. Then it uses smaller silver titles throughout to first address the actors and then credit production such as sound, casting, editing, music, and producer.

What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

The first image prioritized is a close-up of the main character then it fades out to black. Then the rest of the images prioritized are the actual setting of the movie. Places like stores, homes, and run-down buildings are all shown in flashes. This is placed with eery music and cut-away editing to give an ominous atmosphere.

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

The film starts to establish a feeling of horror by using the fade out of the main character looking quite menacing. Then the fast use of cut-away editing with darker lighting gives off a fearful atmosphere because the grey feels like something bad is going to happen. It also appears almost ghost like so it foreshadows the horror theme that will be present throughout the film.
