Cable Guy
The Cable Guy is another prime example of a black comedy. Steven Kovak has been kicked out of his apartment by his girlfriend. Steven has a new apartment, and decides to slip the cable guy (Chip) $50 for free cable. Steven then fakes an interest in Chip's line of work. However Chip takes this to heart trying to become Steven's best bud. When Steven no longer wants to be Chips friend the man who can do it all goes on an all out assault to ruin Steven's life. In the backdrop is the delicate sub-plot of the trial of a former kid star for murdering his brother. The Overview is a lonely and disturbed cable guy raised on television just wants a new friend, but his target, a designer, rejects him, with bad consequences. By IMDB
This is the title sequences to the film "The Cable Guy" which is a black comedy. This is the genre of the film in which my group are constructing so we are going to analyse it to see what feature/ codes are conventions are used. The title sequences opens with the Columbia production company logo, this is one of the things that have to be shown during a title sequence. It then changes to a static, television this could indicate the storyline as this could be linked with the title of the film "The Cable Guy". The typography that is sharp and this could connote the twist the story line or the bad happening. The lack of colour in the start could symbolise the dark side to the film.
