RESEARCH: ART OF THE TITLE (RED LIGHT)

From watching the opening sequence to ‘Red Light’ I personally think that it is off the thriller genre. The reason for this is because of the tense soundtrack causing the viewer to constantly be on the edge of their seat causing suspense. From what I found when watching it, it was clear that they only listed the names of people with a high authority. For example in the middle of the opening sequence it stated,’Executive Producer Lisa Wilson.’ When writing the name Lisa Wilson they used a much bolder font. This is effective as it makes it stand out to the audience. This also represents the importance of this person. The editing in this sequence is very clever. The reason for this is because when the music becomes very climatical, the editing speeds up. This adds to the tension and the suspense. However I like at the end when they have used slow editing to present cinematic black and white close up shots of a radio. I personally think that the characters are drawn in through the intense sound track and the close up black and white shots of the radio. As a viewer it feels as if the shots are absorbing you into the screen and you feel as if you are in another world due to the suspense and tension created within the moving image.
