DW - Titles influence

John Carpenter's Halloween

For our titles in our film opening we were very much influenced by John Carpenter's Halloween title's with the serif font and with the title all being in capitals. Also the titles are shown on a black background which gives it a serious feel to it rather than a comedy feel or romantic, so here it's already providing some sort of exposition towards the genre as this is what you'd expect with a slasher opening title. Also there's a non- diegetic soundtrack over the top which works well to add to the spooky effect and build up tension.

Black Nightmare

So with our title we're going to use the same serif font and use a black background to try and create the same effect as Halloween did. Also we're going make a soundtrack to be the non-diegetic sound over the top whiles the titles are playing to build up the tension for the opening scene.
