Opening credits analysis

Because this opening is from a television program that is parodying the western genre so the tropes and conventions are more pronounced; this is the style of credits we want to produce, since our storyboard totals only a little over a minute. Specifically, we want to have the same silhouette characters and name appearances with blood splatter. The silhouettes are enigmatic, parallel to the characters in most westerns, and are also extremely stylised, like many spaghetti western films. The colours used are very appealing and complimentary, which add an ill fitting happiness to the opening. This seems contradictory to the theme of the film but this juxtaposition but this is what makes it interesting and appealing. The background splatters connote disorder and conflict, whilst each of the silhouettes either introduces a character or symbolises a theme of the film, such as guns, the sheriffs badge or the hand. This is an interesting and conventional opening credits to a western that will lend itself well to our piece. The silhouettes and images used are cognitive of the genre, such as revolvers. However, we want to have silhouettes of things that fit the genre well, and since we are making a sci-fi opening this will be things like spaceships and planets.
If this proves too difficult or time consuming to orchestrate we won't make it, but it is our aim to improve our piece with it.
