The document discusses conventions used in opening title sequences (OTS) of films. It provides examples from the horror film Evil Dead. Key conventions discussed include displaying the film title, credits for actors and production companies, and establishing the genre/tone through visuals. The OTS for Evil Dead uses a dark font, red text and images of blood and gore to set the tone for a horror film and portray the genre. These conventions are typical of other horror film OTS and help introduce the audience to the type of film without revealing the storyline.
Assignment 1
This document summarizes the horror subgenre of phobia/isolation films. It provides examples of films that fall into this subgenre, including Buried, Frozen, and IT. The conventions of this subgenre are described as involving either a character facing their phobia or becoming isolated/stranded in a difficult to escape situation.

Media assign 16
This document summarizes the opening title sequence of the film "The Shining". It discusses the order of credits with the director first, then actors, and the title in the middle. The font used is Arial, which is basic and doesn't reveal much about the film, implying mystery. The font moves up the screen as the shots are in long takes, implying a journey. The font color is a light blue, which is ironic for a horror film, and its strangeness foreshadows the film. The font size is big and in capital letters to show importance. While not a generic horror convention, the subtle irony of the title sequence makes it suitable for the genre.
Credits, assign 16
The document summarizes the opening credits for the film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." It discusses the order of the credits, the font and placement of the credits on screen, the size and color of the credits, and the lack of animation.

Assignment 10
This document provides an analysis of visual elements common in zombie films. It notes that shots of fire and smoke show turmoil within a scene without leadership. Large abandoned spaces create tension by not knowing what could be around corners. Close-ups of gory zombie makeup make attacks look realistic. Titles using bold red letters directly reference blood and violence. Surprising elements like child zombies make the threat more unsettling. Ambulances ironically running people over shows societal collapse. Large zombie crowds display the skill needed for survivors to persist against such odds. Clever title editing using blowing blood enhances the horror genre experience. Overall these techniques suit zombie films known for blood and gore.
Media assignmant 15 ; text billing
Columbia Pictures presents the zombie comedy film Zombieland, directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. The film is produced by Gavin Polone and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. It follows a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic America overrun by zombies who have established rules to survive. The opening title sequence features animated text interacting with characters to set the tongue-in-cheek tone that this is not a traditional serious zombie film.
Art of the title
The document analyzes the opening title sequence of a television show, noting how various images like a creepy child picture, jars with animals, fire and a baby coffin are used to foreshadow a creepy and deadly mood for the show. The credits have a font that fits the genre, take up the whole screen, and include additional elements like skeletons and sounds played over them to emphasize the credits and set the fearful tone for the series.
Media horror possession conventions
The document summarizes key conventions in possession horror films from the early 2010s such as Sinister and Insidious. Some common conventions discussed include:
1) Films being set in isolated, abandoned locations away from civilization with dim lighting and dingy interior settings.

3) Outsiders sometimes being brought in to help deal with the possession threatening the family.
Genres and sub genres powerpoint
