film openings


Halloween Director: Jon Carpenter

Starts off with a black screen and then the music kicks in.
The company logo is a a serrif font which is typical of horror films because they are sharp edges.
During the intro the camera is very slowly zoom into a pumpkin. The music is high tempo to create tension. There are also long drawn out notes which unconsciously make you hold your breath and alter your heart rate, again this is typical of horror films. Then there is on screen text of the name of the town which is exposition for the audience and it also gives the film more of a documentary type feel. The first scene is the shaky camera slowly moving into the front door of a large white house. There is a blue tint on the camera which after this film has become very common in most horrors.
