Typography
- The denotations of the text are clean cut and abrupt, because the font is clear and plain and is black and white.
- The connotations of the text are that Hannibal is like this, clean and organised killer.
- However the first text is the title which is red and in a fancy font denoting blood, murder and theatricality.
- The positioning of the text moves around the 4 corners of the screen, except for the film title and director which are placed in the middle of the screen to set them aside and show their importance.
- The animation of the text is quite plain, the text will appear as the clip changes and disappear with the clip as if the word is part of the picture.
- The text is connected to the visuals because the are both black and white and they both appear and disappear together.
- I find in the psychological thriller genre it is very common to have the credits over a montage of clips.
- I also found that the later titles get more important people than the early ones.
Our Production
- I thought the use of very plain text except for the main title worked very well because it shows the importance of the title and the plain text would not distract from our action.
- While I think the use of montage works well for this clip I don't think we will use it in our film opening because we want to get straight into the action.
- I think having the title first was effective, we were planning to have our title last but we may reconsider this.

Well done Rory, a very good opening to pick and some excellent observations about the inclusion of text. You should now develop your own ideas more and consider the relationship between your text and visuals. 16/20
