The Departed

In today's media lesson i was discussing the design aspects of Departed.  The background image included a city, it could of been any city. Cities are usually used in thrillers to create mystery and suspense. The colours used on it were black+white+red, monochrome colours. There were also visual elements, blood and bullet holes; this is mostly used in thrillers to show what will happen later on in the film. The font and animation of the title was big, bold and linked with the words below it. Also the editing of each shot was falling and in a kind of grainy aspect to show if the film was old or again to get a reaction from the audience.
