Credit Sequences

Twisted Pictures Logo-

Twisted pictures logo comes at the start of many horror films it suits the genre very well by the editing of the title. The use of barbed wire around the edges connotes danger and pain to the audience, it connotes a location where people shouldn't go which foreshadows the location of the horror films location of the film being a place where people shouldn't trespass. The dagger in the middle signifies a weapon either for self defence or possibly torture significant conventions of horror films, the sound of slicing makes the audience feel extremely uncomfortable already and sets the mood for the audience. Although the font of 'twisted pictures' juxtaposes the genre of the film as the font looks quite fun and childish where it should be bold and aggressive possibly in capital letters whereas it looks like the font in a comedy film.

Warner Bros/New line cinema logos-



The logo of Warner Bros has edited to suit the theme of horror and mystery of the film 'The conjuring' The use of the dark clouds connote horror as it is a dark and gloomy background conventions of a horror film that the weather is also wet and cold. The sound getting louder and louder makes the audience uncomfortable and make it eerie.
The new line cinema background is exactly the same as the warner bros background with dark clouds and horrible weather, this is action match editing as the warner bros logo breaking up forming new line cinema logo with the same background.

Se7en Credits-

In the opening credits for the film 'se7en' created by David Fincher, the use of ambient sound such as the pen marker on paper, the filing of papers etc. are made louder which makes the audience uncomfortable as they would not naturally be this loud but they are blaring in the audiences ears. Furthermore, there is asynchronous sound when the take flickers on screen, the sound is not in sync with the short take which makes the audience feel disoriented and would foreshadow the characters and scene seem strange.
The editing of the takes in some takes its out of focus, and is flickering on the scene again it makes the audience feel disoriented and uncomfortable which enhances their title sequence. The font of the names on the screen is fuzzy and difficult to read which engages the audience into the film as it makes them question what is going on and why is the names flickering either big or small or on and off the screen. The audience are trying to focus on what is going on but the editing of the credits won't let them focus.



Rogue Pictures/Working title pictures logo-

Rogue pictures title enhances the title sequence as the flickering makes the audience feel disorientated and confused, furthermore the bright lights confuse the audience and make them engaged as to what it is trying to spell. The darkness around the title sequence links to the horror genre as horrors conventions are darkness and already engages the audience into their title sequence.
Furthermore, the loud noise of what sounds like a bomb alarm in the old times scares the audience immediately as it brings urgency and panic to the audience, making them feel uncomfortable watching.
However as the edited take plays on police sirens come into the take loudly which connotes danger further introducing the horror genre making the audience engage into the opening sequence after. The spinning of the title makes the audience feel disorientated and strange watching enhancing the interest in what will happen in the opening sequence as there is enigma codes of why there is sirens and what it connotes.
