Halloween Title Sequence
view from beginning to 22 seconds (Halloween and Halloween II)
The title sequences of the first two Halloween films are very simple, but create and eerie and suspense atmosphere.
This is because the orange colours are linked to the event of Halloween and so does that image of the pumpkin. Furthermore, the red colour of the other text connotes danger and blood and foreshadows that there could be deaths in the movie.
We could take inspiration from this for our film, as a plain font a colour would not give too much away, but like the Halloween titles, could just hint at the content of the movie.
For example, a black font could suggest the nightmare aspect of our film, but this is very stereotypical of horror films.
Due to the fact we are subverting some of the stereotypes of horror films by aiming it at a mainly female audience and only having female main character, we could also subvert the normal black text and have white titles instead.
As well as being unusual, white is also a colour associated with doctors and hospitals and so could foreshadow that one of our characters ends up in hospital and this is where her nightmare leads off from.
