The film I have chosen to analyse is one of my personal favorite films 'Requiem For A Dream'. In the opening sequence it begins at the home of an elderly woman who is watching a program and then it cut off as her son takes away the TV for reasons which are not mentioned. she is afraid of her son and is hiding away from him as he is taking away her TV set. There is a use of basic household props e.g. chairs, tables. It is set in Coney Island, New York. The film is based on narcotic addiction and plots the downfall of all the character who become and are addicted to drugs.
Artisan Entertainment is an American independent film studio until it was bought by a Canadian studio and is now part of Lionsgate. The studio has produced films such as Pi, Grizzly Falls, The Blair Witch Project and Novocaine.
Thousand words is an independent finance company founded in 2000. They have financed many films such as Waking Life, The Clearing and Right at Your Door. These companies have both been responsible for producing and financing very niche american films and are no longer independent companies and have been merged with other companies.
I personally find the typography very interesting and enigmatic. The font creates an element of suspense and tension and the fact that there is a use of simple, basic colors which creates more questions as there is no clues being given away. The fact that there is a use of capital letters suggests that something big may happen.
From this I have found that the most important roles are displayed at the beginning of the film and towards the end of the film the most important crew are displayed at the end of the film. I have found that the institutional company are shown first and after then the cast are introduced into the film, then the crew. This has also helped me decipher what roles are more important than others and which ones I need to include in my opening sequence.
