Title Research Snow White and the Huntsman

From the website Watch the Titles, I watched the opening sequence to Snow White and the Huntsman. While watching it, I noticed that there were about 8 main titles displayed each with different sections. The was the production studios, produced by, directed by, casting, editors, photography, screen story, and music. Images prioritized during this title sequence included very dark images of items like roses, iron, and black feathers. The connotation behind this sequence is that there is dark love involved in this movie. The strategy of music and dark lighting ensured a appeal to the audience as to why the love images and war like images both being displayed and why are they black. The romance genre was reinforced through the love images being displayed and drama genre was reinforced by the switching of different themed imaged through the title sequence. It established enigma with the audience because it raised question marks as to why would love be displayed so dark. It was a contradicting feeling. Technology was used effectively because the slowness of the movement of images and the music created a mystery to the viewers. It made us feel as if there was some type of irony behind the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs story we know.
