I have analysed a horror film introduction in my groups chosen genre which is horror. I have conducted a textual analysis for the opeming of the horror film 'Dawn of the Dead'. When analysing this film i noticed the
title sequence appeared much later in the opening scene. I do beleive this is the best way to present a title
sequence as its more effective, and allows the target audience whos watching the film to have an insight into the film scenario first. When constructing are film titles and sequences we need to make sure they are reassuring to are specific genre were trying to establish in our film. In this case the 'Dawn of the Dead' Film title sequence is in a red colour. This symablizes blood and straight away establishes to the target audience
its related to a horror film. The title sequences can also present the pace of the film and how much action will take place. For example in some cases title sequences for horror genres can either appear slow indicating its a creepy, eery film, or appear quick indicating the film is jumping straight into action at the oppening.
The 1988 version of the film 'Woman in Black' title sequence is a good example of how an eery atmosphere is created through the title sequence. The title sequence is faided in to the opening scene slowly with bold white capital letters in the first few seconds of the opening. This shows how eery the film is and the sound of piano keys loudly played emphasises with the title sequence the film is going to be scary and unexpected to what could happen. From this research i think thie best way to approach a horror film title sequence is to allow thetarget baudience whom watching to emphasise the secnario briefly then the title sequence slowly faides in to create a confusing understanding of the film. This will allow for the film to be jumpy and unexpected scenes. We will have a bold font for the title sequence to indicate it will be a eery and scary film, and quite confusing.
