Raja Virdi, Lauren Rudd, Sam Bushell - Title Research 1

Our first opening we chose to do was "The Haunting in Connecticut".

Even though, immediately we see there isn't any credits to people in the film we gather from the introduction what the film is about.

We know from this introduction that the film is based around death, as photos are shown with people and corpses. These photos are all presented in a sepia type colour in order for them to look old and from years and years ago. This relates to the genre of Psychological because we first see the image of the people then they zoom out and we see corpses. This somewhat plays with an audiences' head (like a psychological does) and possibly tells us these people are mentally unstable.
We also see little black and white clips of blood and medical equipment which again, tells us about deaths.

We can learn from this sequence that it is very powerful and interesting having simply photos as an introduction and can create quite a scary feel for an audience. I believe we could definitely use this technique in our opening.

It would have been better if they added credits of the people in some sort of blood dripping with scruffy fonts, but I think if we used this idea, we could use those kinds of fonts to our advantage and create something very good.
