Our sub-genre that we have chosen to do for our horror is paranormal slasher which is also known as super-natural. Paranormal is also known as super-natural because when we have to do research the only history of paranormal films will be paranormal activity that comes up. We had to research about our sub-genre by looking at other films with the same genre and then compare and explain about them. In horror there are a range of sub genres including:
- Vampires
- supernatural
- werewolf
- zombie
- creature feature
insidious
This particular film which is insidious was released in 2010, the opening title is red and this colour sometimes gives away that its the colour of danger and the devil. This opening credits shows clips which jump from one to another whilst they have credits coming up on the screen in red also. The clips which jump from one to another are in black and white almost a grey colour and they show different locations of a home. This opening credits have a production company which is on a circle and then ends up to be a light and then the film begins.
the omen
This is the second opening credits for another supernatural/paranormal films which i researched and looked at. It also has the colour red in it which identifies the devil and gives out hints to the audience what the film is about. This particular opening credits title sequence also has credits coming up as there is a still image behind rather than different locations like insidious whilst credits pop up on to the image showing peoples names. This opening credits title sequence has a distribution company on it which is the 20th century fox.
DOLLS
This is the third opening sequence that we researched on youtube. By watching this opening sequence we gathered it wasn't very modern because there was opening credits which lasted quite a few minutes. The opening credits have swirly writing with just still images of dolls whilst different peoples names come up on the credits. The colour of the background behind the image and credits is black and this is a dark colour which shows its spooky.
These 3 different opening credits are quite similar,for example;they have music that builds up in opening credits because they try and make the audience feels spooked out at the start and almost tense. These opening sequences are similiar because they are fast paced, quick moving images and video clips. Some certain things that aren't similar are the production and distribution company because some have the logos and the others just have the name of the production and distribution companys.
