Title research: it

 It(2017) is a horror movie remake of the 1990 version that all the old people used to lose their marbles to. The movie is about seven outcasted in dairy, Mainewho face thier worse nightmares that all come from one source: Ann ancient, shape-shifting evil that comes from the sewers every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Banding together because of the nightmares they faced through the summer, they try to face their fears to battle the murderous, killer clown known as Pennywise. There's a total of 16 titles in the intro, which isn't alot but the duration of the titles were extended  so it would take longer. The images shown in the title sequence show bill making the boat he gave to georgy which lead to his fatal demise. The connotation in the movie was done beautifully. The white mixed with the fonts they used in the intro wmgave me a sense of seriousness. Horror is the genre be reinforced through the outset of the title sequence. From the fonts to the creepy piano Bill's mom was playing made the tone and the genre scream at our faces. The title sequence was very enigmatic because it didnt really show anything except bill making George's boat. If I wasn't a fan of the movie it, I wouldn't noticed what movie it was or that the scene was the scene which led to georgy getting killed. On the other hand, the finer knew that this scene would catch a viewer that knows the movie's eye. If you're someone who watched it, you'd catch that seen instantly. They used their modern technology effectively with the camera angles and non diegenic sound and diegenic sound. The angles they used gave that simple title sequence a pop. The dark lighting gives a viewer a creepy vibe when mixed with the non diegenic piano playing in the background. To add on, the switch tondiegenic sound was perfect when georgy went downstairs to where the music was coming from. This is truly a great title sequence.
