Title Research: Spiderman

How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?
There are 25 opening title sequences. 9 of these are title slides with the acting list and 12 of them were the movies production jobs.
What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
The images prioritized in the scenes were the large  spiderwebs, Spiderman himself, and the buildings used to hold the names of the production cast. These are all important to the movie so establishing them now is good to the reader.
What connotations do the images carry?
In a way, the title slides are rather scary as they are black with chrome. They also sit on screen for a longer than usual time, building negative suspense that may worry some viewers.
How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
The genre is first reinforced by the sounds. They play loud dramatic violins to start building suspense. The sounds also speed up to start the fast paced feel. They also use the webs, spider mans signature move in the title scenes to give the reader a piece of the movie while viewing the title scenes.
How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
The film does this through the use of dark imaging. They keep things dark and show only outlines to create suspense. They also bring the effects on and quickly off the screen to make the reader concentrate harder on the screens.
What stratagies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
The biggest thing they do is show Spiderman. This gives the reader a detailed view of him, allowing them to see what they came for right from the start. They also play dramatic strings to entice the reader into wanting to see more, just like sound in other action movies.
How has technology been used effectively? 
The biggest use of technology here was editing. There were little camera shots other than extreme closeups of Spiderman. The movie does a great job at showing the spiderwebs and quickly moving them off the screen to not show too much. They also edit in the moving buildings which was nice to keep things moving. They do some cool sequences with the letters showing everyones name also to keep it visually appealing.
