Title research: Parasite Movie

Hello, I got this title from watchthetitle.com. The titles included the name of the studio, production company, the title of the movie, the actors, casting by, music by, producers, and directed by. The directed by, is towards the end of the opening sequence. These titles in general are displayed throughout while the movie is beginning. As these title cards are popping up there are many main images prioritized. Such as the family during their daily life in a bad condition. The bad condition includes a messy home, and messy clothing. These images convey the struggle of the family. The images carry a connotation of a poor family, living and struggling together. This then helps with the plot. The plot is basically about this poor family, working for a wealthy family. This then helps them better their situation, in which it all turns into a mess eventually. The film establishes a feeling of the genre from the outset because of the music used, and the setting. It's not the best, considering it starts off with a normal family, living a life within a poor condition. But the sequence leaves an unsettling feeling by the time it is about to be over. The setting shows that the people live in a poor neighborhood. This then creates uncertainty for the audience if the targeted audience is interested in movies with a more elaborate storyline, but there is definitely emotional appeal used to tie the audience into the movie. Often in suspenseful movies, there are emotional appeals to set the plot of what will occur moving forward. For example, an actor in a movie once living a happy life, but then meets someone new who is now their stalker within the movie. Lastly, technology has been used very effectively. There are many camera angles and plenty of different

ALL ABOUT ME!

Image
I was born in the United States of America, but when I was two years of age my family and I moved to Argentina in 2009. Of course, my parents grew up there and after we moved there, we stayed for approximately 6 years. The reason we had to move out is because since 2016 Argentina has been having an economic crisis. After we got back to the US, I had to start school in 4th grade with no knowledge of English whatsoever. I had a very rough time in elementary as my grades were awful and it was hard to make friends due to the language barrier. However, in Middle school I finally managed to get straight A's and B's, make plenty of friends, have good test scores, and overall have a good school experience.   Almost all of the friends I made in middle school (Sunrise Middle), came to Fort Lauderdale high school, which has made my overall experience here good. Almost every class that I go to I have a friend I can talk to, a companion I can share experiences with, and most important a fri...
