Last week, my class was assigned to complete what meant half of our grades in our midterm exam. In this blog, I will be continuing from my previous blog post and document the 2nd section of the assignment.
"What is the main message of the opening sequence?"
The main message is that a lady and two children need to cross a river blindfolded for a long time.
"What is the central belief in the world of the film?"
The central belief is that some sort of entity is roaming their world and they cannot look at it or else they will commit suicide.
"Which group(s) of people/audience is the filmmaker representing in the film?"
The filmmaker represents the group of conspiracy theorists in the film; the people in the film who believe in the end of the world/raptures/etc.
"What images are prioritized in the opening sequence that immediately gains your attention and interest?"
The images include the woman telling the children to never take off their blindfolds and the woman finding her way to the boat.
"What connotations do the images carry?"
The audience can connote that this situation is serious by the look on the woman's face. They can also connote that their journey will be hard because of the blindfolds.
"What is the enigma in the opening?"
A question to represent the enigma would be "why will anyone die by looking out of their blindfolds?"
