'Saw IV' (Directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman)
All students in the class had to choose a title sequence which they thought was effective. One of the title sequences analysed was from SAW IV. This was definately an effective title sequence and it was longer than usual and lasted over 8 minutes. Three major events took place through these 8 minutes - Jigsaw's autopsy, the tape found in his body and the Mausoleum trap.
The sequence opens with surgeons performing an autopsy on Jigsaw. The close ups used of the cuts being taken place on Jigsaw's skull and chest cavity and the amount of blood shown suggests the film is going to be very gory, it also tells us the genre of the film is thriller. Eventually this leads to the beginning of the movie’s story: a mini-cassette tape is found inside the corpse which tells us that the plot of the film may be based around the killer being dead however the games are not over with. The music in the title sequence is a hard sounded beat of an underlying woodchime instrument, symbolizing horror and preparing the audience for the unexpected. The title sequence creates enigmas such as - when we see the long shot of Jigsaw's body we question "who is he?" and "is he relevant to the plot?"
