2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences? 

In the the title sequence we are shown the images of the main Character Creed, as well as his life in the boxing ring as well as the close relationships he has in his life which could include his girlfriend and his boxing mentor.

3. What connotations do these images carry?  

These images suggest the passion that Creed has for the sport of boxing as well as the struggles he has had to endure to make it to the point that he is at. It is implied that he might not be a superstar as of yet which is further supported by the many images of him working out and working on his boxing skills. 

4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?  

From the beginning of the title sequence the film heavily focuses on the relationship Creed has with boxing. From the hand wrapping to the boxing ring we are given a clear view that above all this is a movie that focuses on the sport of boxing. 

5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

Having a clear idea that the plot of the movie revolves around boxing the title sequence used dynamic images of key points in the movie to ensnare its audience. Using points such as the relationship between his girlfriend, the flourishing relationship between mentor and mentee and of course the final climax scene where the protagonist and the antagonist collide. 

6. How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques. 

In this sequence we were given a long shot, close up, wide shot, two shot, medium close up, and an establishing shot all which were used in a prominent and effective manner. The editing techniques and transitions were not at all spectacular but were smooth enough where we see a timeline of events as the sequence progressed ultimately leading to the final climax of the movie.
