Title Design Research: Bird Box

1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?

During the opening scene, two titles are displayed: the first is "Netflix presents," while the second is the title of the film in all capitals.

2. What connotations do the images carry? 

The graphic showing the movie's title has an empty/scary vibe about it.

3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? 

The genre is emphasized in the opening title scene, which features haunting noise/music playing over the lake, and the title is shown in all capitals. This exemplifies the genre by making the spectator both fascinated and fearful of what may happen next.

4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? 

Conventions are utilized to guarantee that the film appeals to the target audience by immediately establishing the thriller part of the picture. This is accomplished mostly through the use of music and camera angles. This keeps the audience on alert and wanting to see more.
