Institutional Research - Red Lights (2012)- Elona Doci

For this task we had to watch a film opening and then create a timeline of the titles we saw throughout the opening; the visual elements we saw and all the audio we heard. In the opening of 'Red Lights' there was 22 titles; these titles told us about who the actors were, who the director was, who wrote the film and the film title itself. The film title was shown at 20 seconds, this is very early on but this basically told us what the film was called and then we were able to make links from what we saw and heard. Through the visual elements in the opening we got a flavour of what sort of film it would be and the audio added to this. when watching the opening and listening to the audio i could tell that the film was a thriller and mystery as the music was quite dramatic and mysterious, as well as the imagery that included x-rays, skeletons and needles.
