Splice
At the beginning of the Splice title sequence the audience are shown flickering x-rays of small animals, which are changing into the production company’s logo. This creates a dark, scary tone and atmosphere, and makes the audience feel uncomfortable. This suggests that the film is horror, as it makes you turn in your seat. Throughout the title sequence the camera seems to be being pushed through misty water in, which looks like the inside of a body. The pale, vain filled skin that the audience is shown will make their skin crawl. Being inside a body will make the audience feel uncomfortable and restricted. This connotes that the film is in the si-fi/body horror genre.
When the audience is show
the inside of the pale skin, inside the body, they are shown scales soon after.
This suggests that the person is not normal and is some type of creature.
The soundtrack in the title
sequence is a eerie piano track, which continues the feeling of it being
unnerving. As the title sequence
continues the pace fastens as the audience are taken through the misty water
faster. The track goes faster, which is parallel to what is happening on
screen.
We see the typography that
they have used to show the credits are formed from the creature’s veins. Around
the name we see scales. This makes the audience feel uncomfortable again. This
continues to suggest that the film is in the genre si-fi/body horror and shows
it by the typography they use.
From the title sequence we see the character isn’t a person, but a creature. We understand this from all the features in the body that are not normal. For example the scales on her skin, the popping out veins, and the dark greenness of the skin.
