Title Research: Midsommar

Image
Midsommar (2019) from www.artofthetitle.com It is traditional that our fair queen shall choose… —STEV What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? During the cut segment of this opening sequence of “Midsommar” the title is actually never shown. Director Ari Aster is known for subverting genre conventions, matter of fact, film conventions in general. Knowing this, the title was likely revealed at the end of the film, wrapping up the contents of the film.  What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? In this opening sequence, only the names and credits are prioritized.

Genre Research: Thrilling Thrillers

       For my first genre to research, I will be looking into thrillers! Thrillers are categorized as  a novel, play, or movie with an exciting plot, typically involving crime or  espionage . They are defined by the moods the enact o the viewer, these being shock, suspense, fear, anxiety, and anticipation. What makes thrillers special and unique to other genres is that they often blend together elements from different genres, these being horror and action. Horror is used to build anxiety and fear, then the action comes into play to build suspense and excitement. Pretty cool! Now, let us look more specifically into what makes a thriller: Camera Angles, Movements, and Shots      The way a camera is used in a thriller is what really makes or breaks the quality of the media. Camera shots are vital in building that sense of anxiety. Extreme close-up shots are often used to hyper-enhance the subject and leave out whatever may be going on around the...
