Product Research: The X Files Opening Sequence/Title

The X Files is an American mystery thriller TV series which lasted from 1993 to 2002. It has been largely popular for the mystery that the show has to offer to the audience.

The opening begins with the title of the series shown in a X-ray view which is associated with the title, and also creates a link, the 'X' in the title symbolizing X-ray. This also creates a sub-genre for the series as it may have generic conventions of a scientific thriller. 

At 00:19 we are shown a name tag of a FBI agent in blue only, this is to express power, the colour blue is known for being in authority. The camera is zoomed onto the face of the agent which creates a suspicion for the audience, this is generic in a mystery thriller because it gives the audience the idea of the FBI agent having an undercover personality.

The whole opening is shown in low light with bold colours being shown, this indicates the idea of a journey to discovery.

I am really taken with the idea of importance shown by colour and lighting, I hope to learn from this and maybe include in Uncut Production's thriller project.
