Film Of A Similar Genre: Insidious

The title sequence for the film insidious is a thriller/ mystery, horror. The film is about a family looking to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further. The title sequence starts with the sound being very eery music which creates the tension and atmosphere of creepiness and fear for the audience.

 The typography comes up very slowly and almost moves off the page like a whisper giving a very cold appearance. The background is dark and gray scale throughout the only colour present that isn't dark is red which symbolizes blood/death and horror. I like the fact they use the red colour to symbolism the red door which suggests it’s going to feature as an important role in the film. This is what I like about the title sequence I like the mystery and question.

 In my title sequence for my film I want to add this mystery by focusing on an image or object the same as insidious does without giving too much about the film away. The setting / mis en scene for the title sequence is an empty house and the lighting is very dim and low which is a typical representation of a horror film. I am going to use a lot of the features in my title sequence as they work well together to create a dramatic and interesting effect.
