Analysis of the title sequence 'the fugititve'
 
The Fugitive is a blockbusting chase thriller Produced in 1993. The film is about a doctor who goes on the run after being wrongly convicted of killing his killing his wife; and is pursued by a determined law man. The film begins by introducing the credits, however this is executed skilfully as this is the part of the film which is purposely created to lure the audience into wanting to watch the rest of the film. For example, the screen fades in to form a black screen.
 
 
 
This is done by using the editing technique cross fade; as the frame then faded from black to a bird’s eye view of the location where the film is mainly set. Ehich is a dark city in america. This automatically sets the scene of the film and the audience want to found out more.
 
The dissonant music makes it a thriller, as this prepares the audience that something dramatic is going to happen. Furthermore, the audience expect a thriller to create tension. Therefore in certain parts of the film the tension increases through the music. For example  the word 'Harrison appears on the screen in a bigger font than any of the other previous writing, this suggests ot the audicne that this actor 'Harrison' is important to look ouit for in the film as he will be one of the main charatcers. It is important ofr the audicne to recognize the main characters becasue they are the ones who create and guide the stroyline of the film. Furthermore, when the word 'harrison' appears the music creates a noise similar to a loud chime. This connotes the idea of the importance of this charcater , this is also done similary with the other main role, Tommy Lee Jones.

  1. For a level 4, you need to add more depth to your analysis and write about how the audience would feel and think while watching this. I also think you should add more stills and recapture the ones you already have so that they are a better quality.
