Title Research: Mission: Impossible – Fallout


1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? 

The sequence begins with the studio and production companies. Following this, it lists the main cast of the movie. Strangely, the sequence did not include major roles like director or producer. 

 
2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

Images of action and violence are prioritized. Flames also carry on throughout the entire scene, which is something specific to this movie series. 

 
3. What connotations do these images carry? 

The images carry several different connotations. Seeing scenes like a bomb’s timer approaching zero gives a negative connotation of hopelessness. Meanwhile, many of the other action scenes have more neutral connotations, because we don’t know the context behind the action. 

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

The actions scenes very effectively establish the action genre. It would be difficult to mistake the genre for something like romance or drama. The violence and feelings of hopelessness also contribute to a secondary thriller genre.  

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

The short and fast paced action scenes are a sure way to appeal to fans of the action genre. This may also turn away audience members who do not have the same appreciation of the genre. 

 
6. How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles,  
transitions and editing techniques. 

Technology has been used to edit the scenes together for the title sequence, as well as to add the flame effect to the scenes.

Movie Conventions Research: The Pale Blue Eye

Most of the story-based elements discussed in our genre research, like an enclosed area or wealth as a motive, were not present in this film . More specifically, in the case of going against the convention of enclosed areas, the movie has many outdoor shots spanning wide areas, including wide shots of dozens of men in the forest . Instead of wealth as a motive, the movie had revenge as a main motive for the killings . The biggest example of breaking conventions was the twist at the end of the movie .
