Our sequence will be very stylised to gritty, edgy, short cuts to not give too much away, making it more sinister and interesting. This is the same theme the film 'Seven' followed, this sequence has influenced us because we've already made a remake of it and also looked at it in great detail.
Images like this are very close up and don't show too much, leaving room for the viewer to guess what it could be about, and forebodes what's going to happen in the film such as something sinister. This creates enigmas such as 'Whats the person intending to do?'. Close up shots like this which have a limited mise-en-scene creates suspension which are useful for thrillers and horror.
Random pictures like this make the audience question the opening even more, which is what we want to create with our title sequence. The idea is to 'spook' the audience and make them want to get more spooked, and find out what the actual back story is. If we can achieve this, then we've achieved our aim.
Conventions which may be challenged are how gender roles are portrayed in films. Such as women always being the victim, and men either being the heroes or the villains. If our title sequence is well interpreted, it will suggest that one of the women who are among the victims will turn out to be a survivor, and eventually lead onto being the hero of the film.
Colours will be limited like seen on the image, which is from another horror called 'The omen', and as you can see the distorted images hint at a shadow of a child, whilst its reflection is a upside down cross which symbolises anti-Christ, meaning evil. We will follow a similar pattern where images and colours will only give away the plot to an extent, the rest is left out for it to be questioned.
