Horror Film Step Outlines

In order for us to create good opening credits, that are realistic and fit in with our genre, we had the task to look into some of the opening titles to established horror films. The first one that we looked at is the first two minutes of Cabin In The Woods. Below is a slideshare of the analysis that Simran and I created when looking at Cabin In The Woods.

This activity has been useful, as it has shown us some of the conventions that are used in the opening two minutes of horror films, including, the kind of music used, and how quickly the film introduces the narrative. This will be influential when we create our opening titles to our horror film.
