3 types of ots
- 1. 3 Types of OTS
- 2. AHS • In season 2, the montage includes fast cuts of patients being tortured through different methods of both physical and mental torture e.g. being stuck in an isolated room with no communication with the outside world and electric shock therapy along with being strapped to a bed and experimented on. • The AHS intros are always a montage of what to expect e.g. you can expect witchcraft in Season 3 because rituals and voodoo dolls are being shown in the montage and madness/disturbing scenes in Season 2 just by watching the the introduction as it shows asylum patients and the physical and mental torture that they go through. It symbolises what to expect from the series in the form of a programme.
- 3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo • Symbolic: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: The format of this OTS is symbolic. It suggests the film will be dark, violent, disturbing and shocking however none of the scenes will foreshadow the film. The intro uses black and other dull colours with low key lighting to signify danger and the world or location the film is set in is dark and corrupt. The music makes the audience feel uncomfortable which sets the mood for the film as it's going to be twisted and distressing for the audience.
- 4. Marco Polo • Another symbolic intro would be the intro from Marco Polo. This intro symbolises what we an expect from the show and what's going to happen. We can tell this is the case since we can see blood on the sand which connotes conflict in the desert and war from the armed shadows on horses. These events may not have anything to do with the actual programme but is foreshadowing what the programme will be based around.
