RESEARCH: ART OF THE TITLE - NARCOS

Narcos


From the title sequence at the beginning of Narcos, I could immediately tell that the film genre was about war/crime. This is because there is a lot of combat to do with the first few frames, such as a scene of a car blowing up and various war soldiers running with guns. We notice that the film is directed by Jose Pahdina. This is shown in letters to the left of the screen. This shows that the director is obviously important to the making of the film. We also know that the executive producer was Eric Newman. They presented his name on top of a mid shot. This shows that he doesn't deserve personal space like the producer because he isn't as important. Narcos is a part of 'Netflix Original Series.' When looking at the Mise-En-Scene it is clearly set in Mexico/South America. I can also tell this because we see a thumbnail of Pablo Escobar. This shows a possible relation to drugs in the film, so we can get a slight grasp as to what the film would possibly be about. The editing changes throughout the sequence of different titles, because there is a very fast paced edit when there is action – whereas there is a slower, more effective edit when there is a possible humor.
