2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  

Priority was given to the pictures of the actors and directors as their titles were presented first. Throughout the full title sequence, this was a recurring theme.

3.  What connotations do these images carry?  

They have a dark background with a red and a blue line racing while the names are being displayed. It symbolizes the race between Ford and Ferrari, which is the movie"s main plot and title: Ford v Ferrari. This does a great job of foreshadowing the theme of the movie.

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

It previews some of the elements of the genre. Starting with the location that sets up the background for the rest of the movie it served as a strong start to a film representing American car designer Carroll Shelby and driver Ken Miles battling corporate interference and the laws of physics to build a revolutionary race car for Ford in order to defeat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. Much of it implied and foreshadowed the later parts that would come in the film. 

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

This film in particular has a specific format in how the title sequence presents the whole movie. Within this title sequence, we hear the sounds of cars racing before we even see our first characters which could excite car lovers and motorists getting ready to see this film.

6. How has technology been used effectively? 

The directors are successful in using a variety of camera angles like bird's eye, wide shot, medium close ups, and etc. to show the viewer the perspective of the driver and the car.
