RESEARCH: THE GIRL WITHT HE DRAGON TATTOO

In this film opening there are many dark and disturbing images.

In this picture you see a human figure's face and it appears to be submerging itself under a black liquid. This connotes the image of drowning and the lack of colour other then black gives the sense of trapped which highlights the drowning feeling even more.

In this picture there seems to be a creature of some sort with sharp teeth (still in only the clour of black). The fact that everything is black makes this film opening seem like a nightmare that is hard to escape from.

This image appears to show computer cables and wires that appear to look snake like and very distrubing. They are also tangled which highlights the feeling of being trapped.

The writing for the credits is very basic and simple which creates the audience to have their main focus on the disturbing images. There is a flower in the background that makes myself feel uneasy as normally flowers are colourful and bright yet this one is black and hasn't blossomed.

In this image it shows the figure looks like they are struggling to get out of water. This shows connotations of pain and unease.

The fire makes me feel that someone is being burnt alive. A human figure is then shown being burnt alive. This is shown when a skull appears on screen with fire all around it.

In this image we see two pairs of hands joining together. This suggests that there is romance in the plot of the film despite the plot also evidently being twisted.

the computer wires suggest that this has a large part take in the plot. Also the disturbing image of computer wires coming out of a human figures face makes the audience feel unsettled.

This image shows a male figure being blind folded and tied up, this suggests that there is a lot of violence in the plot of the film. There is also an image shown o a female figure being gagged, this suggests that there is some sense of rape or forceful violence in the plot also which creates the feeling of being disturbed on a whole new level.

In my opinion this film opening could be one of the protagonists' nightmares and that each image relates to their worst thoughts or experiences in their life. The figure that is a girl appears very boyish which suggests she doesn't want to appear weak or be seen as vulnerable, perhaps even denying her sexuality. There is also an image of a male and female about to kiss which is ruined by an explosions which tears both figures into multiple pieces, this connotes that there is somewhat something that ruins a sexual relationship in the film between the man and the woman.
