Nightmare On Elm Street - Textual Analysis



  • In this video clip, entitled 'Nightmare on Elm Street' it kept the murderer's face hidden which is a clear representation of a restricted narrative, which only increased the levels of mystery and suspense by forcing the audience to open there mind to imagination.
  • The film was also of a non-linear standard, as it wasn't clear whether the main character was dreaming about the attack of whether it was a premonition of reality. 
  • Personally, we quite liked the usage of the title sequence, as various roles appeared at the side of the screen which looked classy with out distracting the view from the opening of the film. In addition to this, we thought that the opening credits didn't look cheesy with titles such as "starring . . ." 
  •  However there were a few factors in the opening sequence that we were not found of as a group, such as the beginning of the film where the title "Nightmare On Elm Street" looked slightly cartoonish which in our opinion it looked inappropriate for the genre.
The list of jobs that appear  during the opening sequence are:
