Analysis of a Horror   Opening Titles (3)

The third title opening that I have decided to analyse is "Child's Play 3"

Q.)How Does the title sequence establish genre, character and narrative?

When looking at the opening to "Child's play 3" we can see that this is clearly shown as the genre of horror. I can see that this is straight away horror because of the features that have been included within the titles, for example we can see the sight of blood making us see death and seeing this blood being restored. This is made more dramatic and with the slow paste of the restoration it is creating that sign of tension building us up to the restoration of this doll which because of the past films as this is a continued sequel we can see that the villain the doll is being restored and it building us up to the new life of the doll (Chucky). With the sight of the squashed gunge that is on the floor later on we discover this is the doll we can see that it is horror, and by doing this it is creating an idea for us as the audience that new horror is being brought back and we know they something bad will happen knowing that it has been brought back and is showing us a whole new impact as the audience. Therefore by looking at this opening title we can see the genre of this horror because the sight of the blood and the how it is showing the danger which we can interpret this when it is showing the leaking out of blood showing that danger is linking out and we can see that this is the genre of horror.

Q.) How does the title sequence attract an audience's interest?

The title sequence is attracting the audience's interest because we can see that because when looking at this sequence it would appeal out towards the audience because of the use and interpreted idea of the restoration of new evil, the idea of the red, the blood leaking out is showing the evil leaking out this will be causing a sense of horror and because of this being a sequel to other past films we know that he was destroyed and killed and the audience seeing this film knowing that he has been restored they would want to know the main question of "What will he do next" by thinking about this the audience would want to know this and want to know if this character will win his fight of evil and this is how for the audience the interest would be created.

Q.) What do you consider to be the target audience of this film and why?

When focusing on the title opening to "Child's play 3" I would believe that the aimed audience for this film would be at least over 15 or older adults the reason for this is because knowing past films and linking it in with this title opening I know that it would contain mild swearing and violence, death violence as well. This would then be inappropriate for younger then under 15 because of the violence and deaths that have been portrayed through this film. Therefore from seeing this title opening we know that straight away there isn't going to be good news and that bad graphic things are going to happen so thinking about the age we can see that this would be suitable for the generation of younger teenagers and older adults.

Q.) Who are the producers of this film and why is it evident to the title sequence?

The horror film of "Child's play 3" was produced by David Kirschner and Robert Latham Brown. When looking at this we can see that David is not much of a well known producer however the other producer Robert is a well know producer making many different film genres from all sorts however the film Child's play 3 that he has produced is one of the films genres that he has done which we know this film is a horror. So from looking at his work we can see that it is showing that this is evident within the title sequence because he has shown the different scenes of horror that have been included in this sequence this is because we can see that the use of the normal horror sight of blood, the idea of the new beginnings and how this has been shown with the idea of new evil and danger with the main idea of what is going to happen next as we have been left on a cliff hanger so to know that he has proved that he has done this opening title is because of the different ways he has kind of shown the beginning of the film without using just normal titles he has used the beginning of the film to introduce his film however just with the use of credits, and looking at his other works for example like the film "Dracula dead and loving it" he used the same idea there.
