OPENING TITLE ANALYSIS:
The opening scene of the film BLADE RUNNER consists of a black eerie looking background with text scrolling down the page. This gives the audience a clear vision of the story and its concept. This is the starting scene for the futuristic thriller set in the United States of America. Based on a lonely ex-policeman who is forced to track down and eliminate six artificial intelligence called Replicants, which is portrayed as the opening credits. The second camera shot changes to a Los Angeles landscape which is based in the future. The imagery of the building, lights and explosions suggests a dark, mysterious and chaotic place. It also clearly demonstrates that this place is not of our current period but is set in the future as there are new and advanced gadgets.
FONT:
The type used seems very bland and small, I would suggest a bigger size which would create a more of a clearer view to the audience.
I personally liked this introduction to the film with the excellent use of atmospheric music which was produced for the entire film by an artist called Vangelis. This perfectly complements the setting and general atmosphere of the film.
The opening is initially devoid of imagery and consists solely of texts. When the images start, what do we see, and what is its impact on us? In what way is the sci-fi futuristic world conveyed in the opening credits? What is the effect of the CU of the watchful eye with its reflection of the world of the film? What is the impact of the silhouetted man in an office setting? What does the voiceover tell us?
