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

You would be able to easily guess that this film is a drama. In one of the images in the sequence it shows a bathroom with a silver sign declaring it is for whites only. This is a conflict that was already indirectly stated in the title sequence. Drama films usually has many conflicts in it.

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

The background music playing during the title sequence was one of the strategies that was used to ensure the film appealed to its audience. Hidden Figures is a serious, educational, and powerful movie. This was made known through the music that played in the background. It gave off a serious effect letting it be known that this movie was not a comedy or anything of that sort.

How has technology been used effectively?

Technology was used effectively because there is so many things that were captured that wouldn't have been so easy to capture without it. Foe instance, the tool that was spinning on the paper which appeared as if it was moving on its own  couldn't have been done without technology. Another example, is the items floating into the air. It was a clever idea because Hidden Figures revolves around the study of space, so the props floating in the air as if there wasn't any gravity on earth was a creative idea.
