Main Task Research: Horror Openings

During the lesson we were told to research and evaluate the first 2 minutes of an existing horror film (this is to give us some ideas on how to set out our opening 2 minutes of our own horror films). In order to help us with this task, sir directed us to the website "Art Of The Title" which allows you to watch a number of different film opening titles. In order to carry out our research we needed to do two things:
1) Choose a Horror film opening - I decided on the film "se7en"
2) Get an A3 sheet of paper and fold it into 4 columns and title them: Audio, Visuals, Time and Titles.

Audio:
This column should include any sound that can be heard throughout the opening - this includes anything from humming to drilling or screaming to heartbeats.

Visuals:
In this column should be all of the things that you see within the opening of the film, picking up on the smallest of details such as the colour scheme or the font that the titles are written in and everything in between.

Time:
This is just a timeline of when the opening titles apear.

Titles:
In this column, write down all of the opening credits that apear within the opening of the film.
