My timeline analysis for ‘hostage’
- 1. My timeline analysis for ‘Hostage’ BY TATUM EVANS
- 4. Style And Movement Of Titles In the opening of ‘Hostage’ there is a total of 29 titles. The title which we see first is, “Etrature film company and mirane films present.” This is the first title shown because it is important to know who is representing this movie. The most important title is the “directed by Florent Siri”. It is important to be displayed last because it will then show off this importance. The director title is important because he or she has put the most effort into the film. There was two titles shown for both “executive producer” and “producer” displaying that there is lots of them who took part in producing.
- 5. Font The first two titles are shown in capitals and are red. It is in bubble writing making it clear and standing out. They fade in and out and stay on the screen for three seconds. I think these were chosen because they are the first titles that you see and they need to catch the audiences attention and make them read what they say, so using the colour red in bubble writing does make it effective. The rest of the titles are shown in either black or white. They are half black if there is a white background and half white if there is a dark background. This makes hem different from the first two titles to suggest that they are people’s names instead of companies.
- 6. Genre The thriller genre is shown through the text by the writing being big and bold placed on what it looks like abandoned buildings, which are typical stereotypes of thrillers. It gives us a clue that the narrative on the film is going to be based in an abandoned urban area with wires around shielding others from entering.
