Opening Credits for Horror Films

The opening credits in Blade (1996), fit with the genre of the film as they are red and looked as if they have been handwritten, making it seem more realistic and less computerised.

In our opening, we wanted to incorporate a font that conformed to our narrative. With this, we are going to select a font that looks most like handwriting. This is because we have a child that is the main source of horror and the font we use could be most commonly associated with their handwriting.

Insidious (2010) used panning in their opening with no credits and this was effective as it made it seem as if horror was going to appear at any moment. In our opening we are using a panning shot, however, due to the timing, we decided hat it would be best for our opening if we included some credits in our panning shots.
