Textual Analysis of Candyman Opening Titles. Main Task

'Candyman' is a 1992 horror film which is based on the idea of re-constituted urbanlegends and their realization in a contemporary reality.
The of the first things that cuaght my eye about the opening titles was the use of one continuous shot. Instead of using quick cuts and fades to empathise tension, the films reality is of the constant pace of the tracking of the camera
is a reasonable device to build its own tension through the constant tracking and being coupled with a dramatic change.

The icongraphy of the slow car moving is suggested although we are not even in a car the longvity of the grey mass which is laid out in front of us is very duanting, maybe more so to being an English audience due to the volume of the road presented. Suggestivly and subconsciously a road will represent a journey taken. The journey the audience are forced along in 'Candyman' is elegant and undeniably a metaphor for the effortless motion and strength of a character we are going to be introduced to. The tunnel, brige and water bellow and the complexity of the road junction, creat imagery of a tunnel with illumination of learning something
the fall form a tunnel, the bridge and its water bellow and the complex road junctions. The imagery of a tunnel is the illumination in learning something but in compensative use with the water's meaning of death and the imagery of a heart of cardio-vascular system the ideas of flesh and being form.

Something that caught my eye was the use of sound which can be presumed to be diagetic or non diegetic. There is a male voice which can be heard that could correspond to a sound inside a vehical or maybe an additional exterior sound to the scene. From teh scene we have established there are no characters so far being introsuced so it should be taken as a non-diegetic sound coupled with music. We then are presented with a combination of the stactic radio and gothic cathedral-esque eitha with a chior or organ. This gives it a dark era which is relative to the folkore premise and the story like realism of the film.
