Establishing the horror genrre





Title sequence: REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

The features that help establish that it’s a horror:
-       The use of the red colours connoting danger and death
-       Use of disorientation to communicate something not quite right
-       The sound eerie sound efffects
-       The images that show scary elements and are black and white
-       The fact it is not a preety or nice to look at title sequence which is how we know it is a horror as     the titles make us feel uncomfortable 






(not the original title sequence)


Title sequence: black swan

The features that help establish that it’s a horror:
-       The use of contrasting colours together red- death danger love
            Black and white- good and bad {innocence and evil
-       The music is a slow scary type of music almost foreshadowing bad event to come
-       The disorientation of the sequence tells us that the film is going to be strange and disturbing also giving away the face that it is a physiological horror 


      our title sequence will include all of these features to create an understanding to the audience of what genre our film is. the sound will be slightly disorientating as well as the way it  is put together. we will include colours that connotes the things that could happen in our film such as red black and white.
