Title Research: Hostage

 The movie “Hostage” was title researched on www.watchthetitles.com because it has the same genre as my group, Drama. These titles included presenters, production, in association, the film type, the actual title, actors, castings, edited by, production designer, co-producers, executive producers, producers, written and directed by. There were about 29 titles in the introduction of the movie Hostage. The title of the movie (hostage) was in the middle of the titles rather than the end. During the opening sequence, it was an animated showing of the city and how the city should appear in the movie. When the opening sequence ends it changes to a real actor screaming in a caged area. They show that struggle, distress, and ruggedness of the city. This lets the audience know what the rest of the movie is going to be like. This is important to draw in the targeted audience. The genre of drama is shown through the chaos of helicopters, guns, army men, etc. However, there is a slight showing of a thriller towards the end of the opening sequence, when they show a character screaming into a phone. It shows signs of war and distress, leaving the audience with suspense, wondering why the city looks this way. This leaves them intrigued and continuing to watch the movie. The film is appealing towards what can only be assumed to be the male audience. This is because the film shows everything that a boy is told they should be like, hence why this film would try to target them. Technology has been applied by editing animation. This leaves a lack of detail in the opening sequence, leaving the audience hanging with just enough information to have them intrigued. The last edit used at the end of the introduction really shows the transition from the intro to the core of the movie. This shows the audience a piece of what they will see throughout the rest of the movie.
