Planning opening credits

Opening credits are significant to most films as they set the scene, creating an enigmatic atmosphere for the audience to question what the film is going to be about. Also the are responsible for the recognition of the actors, directors and film company within the movie.
                                       
The first credit scene begins with a  light to stress the name of the director as most of the films font is in bold red the black adds a contrasting unique effect which centers the attention of the name. The light becomes a part of the iconography within the scene which then begins to rotate blending into the scene giving the audience a chill and this sets the atmosphere for the film creating a suspicious element of a thriller enigma. 

In the credits above there is a smokey effect above the credits as if it were on fire and the red represented something satanic. There is a prominence on certain words written in bold which suggest that they have a significant part and meaning to the film. The letters slowly fade out in unsync order which gives the audience an enigmatic feel to the opening credits.  This gives the audience the idea that it will be about something supernatural and out of our understanding such as ghosts, demons or aliens.

                                   

The opening credits continue in to a scene of a isolated house which has a suspicious element engaging the audience even more. The font of the credits is consistent and red throughout the clip. The abandoned house is shot in black and white which contrasts good and evil within the movie. The erie music creates a chilling sensation within the audience, preparing them for the worst.  The surrounding black mist adds a spooky effect which makes the house a significant factor within the movie. The credits slowly fade after a few seconds which then blends into the background leaving the audience feeling edgy as to what might a occur.  

The opening credits go into several shots of the house playing a erie symphonic  background music which urges the audience to not be at rest throughout the movie creating a frightful tense atmosphere which leaves them more vulnerable to scarier events that are to take place in the clip. The symphonic background music begins to increase in pitch creating an alarming ringing sound within the audience. The theme of black and white is maintained throughout the clip referring back to the contrasts of good and evil also creating a parallel to the music. The setting relates to the thriller convention as many suburban houses are targeted and classed as the scariest due to the element of the equilibrium by Todorov.   

  

                                      

Towards the end of the credits we experience a startling scene were big red font is projected on to the screen with high pitched sound to emphasises the title and make it seem very frightening. The big red font symbolises blood,death and danger which is followed by a light which brings out the title making it seem even more bigger and scarier. Th e style of the font is very formal. This gives the audience an element of surprise and questioning as to what the film might be like. The finality of the clip is useful as it sets the scene. There was an element of tranquillity throughout the beginning and then the sudden title towards the end leads the audience in fear and tension.
