How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?
During the beginning scene of the movie, there is no titles on display.
What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?The image that is prioritized is that Spenser knew he did the right thing by beating his Captain unconscious and that he doesn't regret a thing.
What connotations do the images carry?
The connotations show Spenser's captain was and still is hiding something but the audience doesn't know what yet.
How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?
The genre is reinforced that symbolically due to Spenser's actions, either one of them could of been corrupt. Technically, the use of the court hearing against Spenser in the background shows he is not corrupt and even pleading guilty knowing he disobeyed code of conduct.
How does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
The outset creates the enigma by Spenser attacking his commanding officer on suspicion of hiding a murder case and beating his wife, giving the audience that back ground knowledge on Spenser's Captain.
What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
The directors used both the scene of Spenser beating his captain and the court hearing audio to draw the attention of the audience early on. They also picked well known actor Mark Wahlberg to play Spenser which immediately draws people in.
How has technology been used effectively? You might want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques.
The use of a high angle camera shot as Spenser beats his captain gives a more in depth scene especially while the end of the court audio is coming when Spenser pleads guilty of all charges without one doubt he did something morally wrong.
