Title Design Research: Action
Detective Pikachu:
1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?
Lots of titles are shown in the opening sequence of the movie. The usual ones such as Director and assistant director are shown. Since the movie had many different visual effects there was an emphasis on that part of the crew, such as the visual effects director.
2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel)
They bring about a sense of nostalgia, especially for those who have been pokemon fans for years.
They are bright and colorful and appear to be alive.
3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you
tell what genre the film is)
The exact genre isn’t made too apparent but by watching a pokemon related movie one is to expect some kind of action going in.
4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
Well, one of the major things used was the transition of old black and white drawings of old pokemon into new colored drawings, it shows time has gone by. For Pokemon fans (ones most likely to watch this movie) it is a big deal. The music also was very energetic and uplifting, it sets the mood for action and adventure.
