Analyse of shots from opening titles 

This shot is a close up, showing an image of old looking man hands, this could suggest that the film might be disturbing for the audience to watch. The hands could show that the film might include an old man or it might include an artist or someone who is recording something, this is because it looks like a diary. Part of the shot is dark this could show that natural light has been used and the important part of the shot, which is the image of the hands and the paper surrounding it is light, this could suggest that this is the only part that that the directors want the  audience to see as it doesn't give away any clues to what the film could be about. 

This shot is a close up showing a title of one of the actors staring in the film. This shot is dark and you can't really see what is going on in the background, this could suggest that the film has a  dark or mysterious theme. The typography used for the actors name looks quite creepy and is the colour white so that it stands out against the black background. The typography could also suggest a spiritual like theme or a mysterious theme.  The fact this actors name appears in this titles sequence suggests that she is important in the film. 

This shot is a close up showing someone writing, this makes the audience want to know what he is writing, the picture is distorted which could show the speed of his writing or time going on. This shot is important becasue it could suggest that this person is a writer or a journalist, who is recording down an event or something that has happened. The typography used in this opening title sequence is the same throughout and therefore is continuous.  

This shot is a close up showing someone putting a black line through the eyes of a picture, this could suggest that this person doesn't want to look into their eyes or they could be crossing off someone from a list. Titles also appear on this shot, this is also done in the same typography to show the theme of the film. 

This shot is a close up showing someone ripping paper off something, this could suggest that this person is hiding or destroying evidence. This persons thumb is bandaged this could indicate that he might have hurt himself on the metal hooks which are on the paper. This persons hands are dirty this could show that he has a job where he gets his hands dirty such as a garden worker or a builder, but it could also suggest that he might have been digging so maybe he might have been burying a body. 

The opening sequence titles influence the thriller genre becasue it shows what could be in the film and it they also support the thriller genre as it builds up tension and an atmosphere for the audience which  is a typical thriller convention. 

I think that this film would be aimed at the reformers psychographic group because it is intellectually challenging. It would be aimed at the demographic group A or B because it's more intellectually developed and complex so the higher educational audience might be able to relate to it.
