-What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? 

During the opening sequence of this film the designers displayed many different titles. The designers displayed the director, the writer, the producers, and many other people that put work into producing this film. 

- What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

The directors of this title sequence did a superb job at displaying a range of images in the amount of time they had. They displayed the main actor in different angles with a neon pink light. This really added and matched the genre of this film. It also appealed to the audience. The directors also displayed the main actor going through her day to day life in stardom. They displayed to the audience the actor getting her rising fame. For example they showed her on magazines and getting more views on youtube. 

- What connotations do these images carry? 

These images carry a positive connotation. When the directors first showed the actor in the neon pink light, it added an extravagant/unique connotation. When the directors went to show the actor getting rising fame, that added an industrious/elated connotation.

- How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? 

The film first starts the title sequence with a girl in different angles with a neon pink light shining on her. This  establishes a feeling of the genre because neon pink lights are often associated with being out and having fun. This would give the audience the idea that this film will include drama. They also showed a microphone. Along with a video of her on youtube rising to fame for singing a song. This establishes that the film will also be about music so another genre would be music.

- What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? 

This film did a great job to make sure that the film appealed to its target audience. Within the name of the film you can already see who the targeted audience is: teens. Also during the title sequence, the music used appeals to its audience because it is very new age. The directors also used neon pink lights which would most likely appeal most to teens, specifically teenage girls. 

- How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques. 

The directors used many different editing techniques towards the end of the title sequence. For example he used split screen. He also used different camera angles. During the beginning of the title sequence he used close up, then he used mid shot and over the shoulder.
