11.23.63
This sequence starts with a very loud tune that is in sync with the image shown
and the text. When the tune gets louder, writing appears on the screen. It
immediately starts with the lead actors name being shown at 0.01 seconds.
Moving to supporting characters up until 0.18. The producer is then shown at
0.19 with crew maintenance and executive producers following. While this is
happening a lot of different types of shots and angles of objects are being
shown. There is red string in the sequence, which suggests that it is a crime
drama, the loud and intense music showcases this too. The final title placement
shown is the director and as it does the music gets louder then fades in the
next second with the film title appearing as it goes silent, suggesting
something very sudden and quick (which could be foreshadowing the film)
Deadpool
Comic images shown
till 0.09 seconds then the publishing company 'Marvel' is shown. Straight after
it goes black for 3 seconds and then leads on to cast members however instead
of actual names they are parody ones e.g. "hot chick" and "Gods
perfect idiot". In the background old 80s music is playing which creates
this nostalgic feeling for the audience. The entire title sequence is one shot
including frozen characters and objects in the air floating.
Comparisons
The difference
between 11.23.63 and Deadpool is that 11.23.63 placed much more significance on
their lead actors compared to Deadpool. In fact Deadpool did not contain any
actual legitimate names except for the publishing company. Even though Marvel
is a company it has just as much of a fan base, arguably even bigger than, a
lead actor. This may be because they were shying away from the typical film conventions
in attempt to be humorous and appeal to their niche market. 11.23.63 had a lot
of cuts from shot to shot however Deadpool had one continuous one with no cuts
at all creating this idea of how one thing leads to another. The aesthetics of
11.23.63 were much more monochromatic compared to Deadpool which had a lot of
bright colours.
Aisha, your work on sound and the titles comparison has been good and contains relevant and accurate technical detail. However, you have missed the clear opportunities to extend your analysis and to write in more detail, which is required for Level 4 at AS Level. For the comparisons, you were asked to include at least one timeline. Please add this in to your post 2b.
