Analysis

The first text that shows on screen is the title Carrie. This is in a large size and is written in blood. The background is black to make the title clear. The dark colours are used to make the impression of a dark and scary atmosphere. This is on screen for 8 seconds. This is because it is the most important text and is what the film is based on.

The next text that is shown on screen is the main characters actress “Chloë Grace Moretz”. This stays on screen for 3 seconds as she approaches the camera. This is so the viewer’s know who is playing Carrie. The following text is “Judy Greer”. This is shown as she walks out of the changing rooms. After that “Portia Doublday” is shown on screen as other people walk out the changing room. Then when a boy hugs one of the girls “Alex Russell” is displayed. As a group of boys are shown walking past Carrie “Gabrilellla Wilde” is shown. As a boy and girl kiss “and Julianne Moore” appears on screen. When you see Carrie looking at the boy that just kissed the girl “Ansel Elgort, Barry Shabaka Henley” comes onto the screen behind her. All of these are actors/actresses and all stay on screen for a about the same length of time. This shows that although some of them are more important than others they are all not large enough names in Hollywood for some of their names to be displayed for longer. The order of the cast members go from most important to least important member.

When a close up shot of the teacher is shown blowing a whistle the name “Casting by Avy Kaufman” is displayed in front of her. As the camera move to a close up of Carries face “Visual Effect Supervisor Dennis Berardi” appears in front of her. When the camera is underwater and you see the legs of the other class members “Costume Designer Luis Sequeira” is shown on the left. Then in the same location “Music Supervisor by Randal Poster” is shown. Then on the right “Music by Marco Beltrami” is shown. Then again on the left “Edited by Lee Percy A.C.E. Nancy Richardson A.C.E.” is shown. After that “Production Designer Carol Spier” is displayed. When there is an overview of the water volleyball ground is shown “Director of Photography Steve Yedlin” appears. To the right of carries head “Executive Producer J. Miles Dale” is displayed. Then again in the same place “Produced by Kevin Misher P.G.A” is shown. When the teacher is shown given instructions “Based on the novel by Stephen King” appears. When two girls are talking and circling around each other “Screenplay by Lawrence D. Cohen and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa” appears. Finally when Carrie is shown with the ball in front of here “Directed by Kimberly Peirce” is shown. All of these are behind the scene staff that has a major role in the creation of the film. This is what normally would be seen on screen in a title sequence. They also have the same length of time displayed on screen as each other showing that they are equally important. Some aspects that are even more so typical is the order of when a member is shown. The director is normally shown last as they are the most important behind the scene member. Unlike the cast members the behind the scene members go from least important to most important.
