Research on opening credits.

Insidious
- At the beginning of 'Insidious' the credits are overlapping. It starts with a light shade which rotates round with the name 'James Wan' in the middle showing he's the producer.
-In the middle of 'Insidious' the credits are separate. The main bits they filmed for the first part on the credits was different shots of the house showing how big and desolate it is.
-This is known as integrated.
-The credits in 'Insidious' have a very slow pace as each piece is on for around 5-6 seconds and the whole duration of the credits is around 3 minutes, so it creates tension with everything happening to slow and it gets you focusing on the images as well to give you an idea of the story and the genre.
-The font in 'Insidious' gives it a ghostly effect because the font isn't straight and formal, its the opposite and it seems as if the soul from the font as dissolved away as it vanishes in to the background, this represents what has happened to the little boy, that something has happened to him because of a ghost controlling his body. Also the fact the font is in red emphasises it is a horror as we associate red with blood, evil and the devil but also love.


The Conjuring
-Throughout the whole opening scene, the opening credits are separate to the filming.
-Although the credits are separate it was still clear the genre was horror because all the darkness the fact there was no colour to it. Also the fading of the credits gave it a ghostly effect.
-The credits in 'The Conjuring' has a very slow pace as each piece of text is 4-5 seconds and the whole sequence is 2minutes 3 seconds, so it gives it more of a tense atmosphere and it wants you to feel fear.
