Inspiration About The Opening

To get an inspiration on our new opening sequence we decided to look at a variety of different horror opening sequences to help us get ideas. After looking at 6-7 different opening sequences we discovered that titles were broken up e.g. shown after bits of footage, as well as discovering most of the opening sequences we were looking at were all dull which was quite obvious as this is an effect used in horror films. After viewing different horror opening sequences we believed that the film Se7en was similar to our ideas although the one thing we did do the same was the use of fonts which I believe this worked for both films "Sev7en" and our opening sequence "Last Blood" was due to the genre as well as the fact that both films were based on murders, an I personally believe the font and transitions worked excellently with the dull background which needed to be used.
Our aim was to make our target audience engrossed into our opening sequence by dragging them straight into although we wanted to make it scary as we believed that this could be accomplished by using eerie sounds.
