Genre Choice- We have decided for our opening title sequence to go with the genre of horror. We have looked at multiple different independent and Hollywood blockbuster title sequences and decided horror was best fit for our creative ideas to be brought to life. In addition, through research we have found that horror tends to be successful in making a profit at the box office. We are looking to create a sinister, dark and gloomy piece to depict the majority of what happens in the film. This will help set the tone and showcase the theme without spoiling any plot twists we look to incorporate.
Sub Genres- Thriller, Crime, Drama
We have taken inspiration from the opening title sequence of the classic horror film, The Omen. The actual introduction of the credits are not appealing in the slightest however, many other aspects of the production we believe could work well in our own piece. The dim lighting and the evil-looking image displayed throughout connotes and establishes straight away the theme of the piece. These similar genre conventions we look to replicate in our own style to also set the tone from the off set. The use of disturbing and eerie sound really constructs an atmosphere full of fear and the unknown. This too is a convention linked to horror time and time again.
The basic fundamentals and ideas from the opening title sequence of the film se7en are similar to how we look to film our piece. Using the genre of thriller as a sub-genre lets us create a more in depth storyline that revolves around not only spooking the audience but telling a story complete with twists as well. In our piece we look to replicate the display of the title credits and camera angles such as close-up shots.
