Research of Horror films and opening sequences

Research developed into opening sequence


I have researched horror films by looking on google and viewing popular opening sequences this gave me an insight to how they get the audiences attention, by creating mystery that the audience will question whats happening and intrigue them, we adapted mystery into the opening sequence by having an ordinary man living a normal life but leading a separate life of physchological maniac the part of him that enjoys kidnapping young girls. i also researched the history of horror films.

History of horror movies 


Horror films are unsettling films designed to frighten and panic, cause dread and alarm, and to invoke our hidden worst fears,  often in a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience. Horror films effectively center on the dark side of life, the forbidden, and strange alarming events. They deal wit our most primal nature and its fears: our nightmares, our vulnerability, our alienation, our revulsion's, our terror of the unknown, our fear of death and dismemberment, loss of identity, or fear of sexuality.
