My evaluation of Rachels analysis of the film "Salt"

Rachel has gone into detail with the colors they have used in the titles which will help us as a group decide if we should use vibrant or more darker colors for our titles. Rachel described the titles as "fairly simple" as the titles were mainly black and white, similarly to the other film she analysed. This will help us majorly if we wanted to make and create a spy film as it tells us that simple title sequences are successful. Reading over Rachel's analysis on the mise-en-scene, camera etc has taught me how directors use them to create effects. Such as, when Rachel talks about how the lack of lighting is used to create a dark and dangerous atmosphere. This is something we will have to think carefully about if we decide to make a spy thriller as we would want to try and make it look dark and dull. Also, Rachel talks about the music that is used which is diagetic sound. This has taught me that not all thrillers have to be fast paced and dramatic all the way through to be effective. Overall, Rachel has once again done a successful analysis on her third and final film. In this analysis she has added to my knowledge on mise-en-scene and told me how important it is within a opening sequence.
