Title Research: Island Of Dogs

The first thing the viewer sees when the movie starts is a disclaimer that all characters speak in their native language. It also says that it is translated by an interpreted and has captions. Another thing that is in the first part of the movie is a lot of Chinese writing. There are 27 titles in the opening sequence of the film. It included many things such as the director and the producers. The producers include Fox Searchlight Pictures and Indian Paintbrush. They also included actors and who they are playing. For example, Edward Norton as Rex, and  Bob Bablaban as King. There was only one part of the opening sequence. The whole part where big men playing the drums. These men are also playing other instruments. They are also in a dark room with one light above them, there are only three of them. They are also in asian attire, which establishes where they are, so does the lettering one the sides of the opening section. The connotations of these opening slides is very dramatic. It also establishes the setting. The way that the genre is reinforced through technical coodes is the music. The music is the main way this film is expressed as a drama. I find its introduction music to be very dramatic with large bangs of the drums. Another way the film expresses its a genre is the lighting in the opening sequence. The lighting that is in the opening sequence is a spotlight on the drum players, the spotlight is dramatic. The way that the film establishes and enigma from the beginning because of all of the Chinese language. The strategies used to target an audience  is the translation of words that is embedded into the film. This means that the audience may mostly be English speakers. Another audience is also targeted in this film. It may be Chinese speakers, because that is the language used.  One way that technology is used is because this film is stop motion, which takes a lot of time and a very advanced new camera. One type of camera angles that is used in the opening sequence is an aerial shot.This is when they are above all the drummers.
