The film our group is choosing to is a psychological horror/thriller. The film i have chosen to do is 'Gattaca'.

GATTACA.

From watching the title sequence 'Gattaca'. The name of the film is based on four DNA bases that are 'Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine and Adenine'. In the title sequence they focus on the letter of each of the DNAs i have mentioned above. The reason i think i can choose this film title sequence to compare to our psychological film idea is throughout the title sequence shreddings and cuttings are shown. They are skin, hair, facial hair and dandruff this could be towards the DNA.


The lead male actor Ethan Hawke is shown at the end of the title sequence shaving his beard, i think i can find it similar to our idea is because he is shaving his body hair, shaving the top layer of the skin of his fingers also cutting his hair and getting rid of dandruff. These are different types of things that can be used towards DNA. You could think he has committed a murder due to the fact he is getting rid of skin and hair, this we can relate to our film due to the fact the young girl is killing people and will have to hide herself from doing this.


The lighting comes across gloomy and dim but you are not neccessary able to see everything clearly that is shown in the title sequence. The colour blue is shown, a darker blue on top of the screen fading into a very light blue being more on the outerside whilst the middle looking white, this similarly looks like a light is being shon in the centre of the screen as well as down on what looks like a floor. The mood of the title sequence makes you feel mysterious and whether is a murder 'Ethan Hawke is commiting or has done.
