Title Research: Mr. Saturday Night

 The title that is displayed in this opening sequence is the name of the film, Mr. Saturday night. You also see the writers, directors, editors, music by, actors, and producer names. They make sure they put the production company name, who’s the film by, and what type of film it is.  In the opening sequence, there’s a commentary going on between two people in the background while someone is preparing food to cook. You also see someone maybe a woman folding the dough and cutting vegetables. I see old-time scenery with older methods of cooking.  The amount of food she is preparing tells me they are having a feast. The use of knives and craftsmanship shows this woman knows how to cook. The commentary seconds that thought where the individual explains his mothers cooking and how it makes people feel. It makes things seem more realistic. They have different cooking utensils and what is used for cooking to show the scenery more. They have a plot there already.  Someone being very skilled at cooking and his background commentary to coincide. They use cooking as a way to appeal to the people in the audience because many people love food. They make it seem like someone was watching her as she cooked and talked as she went along. They have billy crystal in the movie because he’s a well-known person in the community, and that would make people want to watch more. They use technology effectively by using different camera angles and transitions. They use a close-up so you can see the whole scene that’s taking place. The scenes are about 3 seconds long, then they use cutting so you can immediately see what’s happening next. They use pan and tracking so you can see what the person or object is doing. They use eyeline match so you can see what has one of the characters so tired. They use close-ups on the food to show how much effort she is putting into preparing the food to be cooked.
