Title research: The Voyeurs (2021)
https://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-voyeurs/
What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?
The titles displayed in the opening sequences are the film’s title, cast members, and crew credits such as writers and designers. Amazon Studios and Divide/Conquer production are also shown, along with Michael Mohan as the film director.
What images are prioritized in the opening sequence and why do you think they were chosen?
The images prioritized in the opening sequence are extreme close-ups and textures that look abstract at first but are later shown to be eyeballs. I think they were chosen because of how eyes relate to the theme of observing and watching. The visuals directly demonstrate the theme of the movie to the audience before it starts.
How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? Why did you see that made you feel that way?
The opening establishes a feeling of unease, which can be shown by the immediate intimacy from close-ups of eyes that makes the audience feel watched or even violated. The dark colors and abstract visuals of the eyes add to the unsettling tone as the images can’t clearly be seen as parts of an eye at first. The music and a woman’s voice in the sound choices work to create a hypnotizing feeling. The sequence is designed to make the audience feel uncomfortable, which reflects the thriller genre of the movie.
