Title Research: Married to the mob

Married To The Mob


How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? 
 A total of twenty-six titles were used in the opening sequence, most of which were the names of the participating actors, the rest being a credit to producers sound supervisors, custom designers, the artist of the opening song, the casting crew, and directors.

What images are prioritized in the opening sequences of the film?
 The opening sequence is a montage of train track and lights with miscellaneous people scattered about.

What connotations do the images carry?
 The images give a sense a fast-paced and dangerous situation

How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
 The opening gives the audience a clear sense of danger, introducing them to a presumed theme of the movie.

How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
 By introducing, arguably nothing, until the opening credits end, the audience is left anticipating the end of the tracks; being stimulated for the entirely of the opening with no clear rhyme or reason.  

What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
  Music was used in the opening scene, it's fair to assume that the music used must have been favorable or at the very least recognizable to the audience of that time. (1988)

How has technology been used effectively? 
 The opening sequence is shacky, and loosely put together; being filmed in odd angles. Like super low (face down) when on the tracks and centered angle for higher placed objects like the light lining the tracks. The nature of the effectiveness creates a sense of reasonable unease disorienting the audience with no clear purpose but to introduce danger.
