The
Killing
Instead of a common black
screen, the titling and credits in this film appear over an image. The image is
really unclear and so creates an enigma. This will recur in the spectators
mind every time they see it. The credit text appears by scrolling in
letter by letter very fast from the left, this creates pace and music also
appears alongside this.
The
Silence
The effects that have been
used in this sequence are flickering, shining and distortion. These are used to
emphasise the distortion of the female protagonists disability. The explanation
for the positioning and placement the titles and credits are placed
in relation to the moving image is that they are in dead space. They are also
super-imposed on the moving image, ensuring not to distract from the main plot.
Wallander
This sequence is a mini
narrative in itself because it is self standing, separate to the episode. Its
function is to communicate certain information to the audience. The reasoning
behind the colours used of yellow and blue are because they are the colours of
the Swedish flag. The use of the yellow block graphic here is interesting
because it is considered a happy colour. But, with the positioning and
placement of the credits dominating the entire screen in ECU, this feeling is
almost forced upon us as spectators. With the non-diegetic soundtrack also
being used, this communicates a melancholic atmosphere and feeling, perhaps to
juxtapose with the 'happy' yellow block graphic.
