aNALYSIS OF titles within a ots
When researching opening sequences in Horror films we discovered that the amount of titles used variety on each film, it can go from only 1 title to 20. We watched the opening tiltke sequence of the Grudge and took note of what titles they used and what order they put them in.
The Grudge:
1. Distribution Company logo 2. Production Company logo 3. Producer/Distributor present 4. Production company 5. Writer /Director 6. Main Star 7. Title 8. Stars 9. Casting Directors 10. Music Composed 11. Editor 12. Production Designer 13. Director of Photography 14. Co-Producers 15. Executive Producers 16. Producer 17. Story / Written / Screenplay 18. Director |
We also looked at all the 'Saw' movies (2004-2010) OTS and we discovered that they only used 5 opening titles. This is a trend in many horror films because it makes the audience feel more engaged with the action of the movie and be instantly drawn into the horror.
