Title Research: Splice

     Splice is a sci-fi thriller shot in 2010. The first five seconds, the screen is black, maybe to build suspense. Then letters fall into place that reveals the production studio the film is from. The letters falling gives us an idea about the type of movie it is. You can tell that it's a horror thriller because the way the letters fell gave off an eerie vibe. The start is very slow, probably to build suspense. This is a good way to get the audience interested in the movie. By giving them the feeling of uneasiness that would normally come with a horror, it's a good start to the movie. After the production, we see a green coloured screen with spooky, slow music playing in the background. The green has a type of pattern on it but the camera is so zoomed in that it's hard to tell what it is. This keeps the audience guessing and keeps them intrigued. The next words are showing the name of the director of the movie.
     After the director goes away, we are shown very vague shots of this green thing, which keeps us guessing. Then it speeds up, showing us much more of the green thing but not enough to figure out what it is. The music is still playing, but it sped up and got louder. Then we see the names of the actors, written in a type of cloth. It starts with the main actor then moving on to lesser known ones. After the actors, the shot goes to zooming through the green substance with the names of everyone behind the camera floating in white font. During the entire clip, the music continued to get louder and faster. This builds high suspense for the audience, giving us something to look forward to when the story-line starts. The green thing is slowly revealed throughout the shots but it's still hard to make out. This can be because it's a really big turning point in the movie later on, or because it is completely insignificant and it was just something used by the creators for a creepy feel.
     Two minutes and forty seven seconds in, and the green thing starts throbbing. Almost like there's a heart behind it. After the writers show up in floating letters, the letters fade and we're left with what looks like a beating heart behind skin and veins. Those veins then shift around to form the title of the movie, then it shows the directors. We are then presented with, what looks like a streak of light that the camera keeps pulling away from then pushing to. Every time the camera gets closer,the light gets bigger and brighter. Then we are confronted with a white screen which begins the start of the movie.
