Part 1

Our brief was to create a title sequence using the codes and conventions of a typical title sequence. For this project, I worked with Emily Hills and Charlotte Norman. We chose to create a title sequence for a vampire film. We decided to do this as “Twilight” is very popular amongst teenagers, so believed that a film based on the same genre would be a success amongst the teenager audience too. In the film a vampire is shadowing Emily (the girl) and her friends. After turning Emily into a vampire and making her friends and family believe she is dead, he goes after her friends; one by one, killing them for their blood. The genre of our film is thriller, as the main elements are suspense, tension and excitement. We have used suspense and tension to create a dismay atmosphere in the audience to make it clear to them what the genre of our film is. Our title sequence shows the audience, before the actual film starts, what genre it is as it includes a chase scene. This shows the audience genre as chase scenes are very common in thriller films. A sense of obsession, for a companion and blood, is also let off from the vampire, which also connotes a thriller genre.
