2. Due to the title of this film its obvious its going to be a horror. The effect of
this first title being a bible quote it instantly creates a creepy impression to
make the viewer anxious of what's to come. To me, I relate a bible quote to an
abandoned church giving that uncomfortable feel that horror films should.
The shot is on long enough for
the audience to read insinuating it
has some sort of significance
towards the rest of the film,
however the font and size shows
it’s a quote from the bible and is
not overly big, so that the viewer
will have to look closely and
concentrate.
3. The transition between these two titles is flicker again making the reader
concentrate as it is not easy to quickly read over. This could be effective as it
makes the reader look more than they would normally, however could have the
opposite effect and make them not look as it is too awkward to read in the first
place. Also the two titles are quite contrasting however both fit in with horror
theme with the dull colours. Both titles have the darker colour in the background
and the lighter colours as the writing making them stand out and easy to read.
4. The next two titles show the involvement from other companies. This shows it is
a small company film which needs investments from other companies and in
exchange for this other than money, they are advertised. These two shots contrast
and therefore I believe put more emphasis on the Manitoba slide which is good
advertising for them however not for telefilm Canada.
5. This is one of the main fonts
used throughout which is an old
roman font which I think fits in
the quotes from the bible and so
the theme is kept quite
consistent.
Also this title is kept on for a good few seconds compared to many titles,
emphasising the importance of the role of the film editor. As well as this, it
flickers between two coloured screen which also drags more attention to the shot
and fits in with the creepy theme.
