Title Research: Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

1) How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?
-There is 8 slides with titles displayed within the opening sequence. They list the author, the title, the producer, etcetera

2) What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
-The images prioritized within the beginning was a Christmas tree, presents and a snowman

3) What connotations do the images carry?
-The create the theme of Christmas. From the snow, to the tree, to the presents, you name it!

4) How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from outset?
The genre may not seem obvious in the opening sequence (I did look up adventure and this was the only 2 search results), but if you know the story of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, then you will 100% know this movie is adventure.

5) How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
-The film doesn't really create a enigma. It is very straight forward, but one can argue that enigma could be found where the screen goes dark and the scene ends.

6) What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience.
-The producer makes the film appealing because it creates a warm feeling. This is because who doesn't love Christmas, where it is the holiday for family.

7) How has technology been  used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques.
-Although It is an animation, a camera movement that could be noted is a pan, as the "camera" is going from left to right. Transitions and editing techniques that is also noted is the wind making the title appear (editing) and fade out, where at the end the screen turns black.
