Research Sources

As I said before we used the "Napoleon Dynamite Opening Credits" to get ideas how to incorperate titles in our scene even though it is not a horrorfilm. The way the opening credits are presented also tells something about the film. For Example that it is a quite light-hearted film and rather funny than serious. In our opening credits we also wanted to establish what our film is about and incorperate the titles as effectively and creative like "Napoleon Dynamite Opening Credits". Besides, the way the opening credits are presented you can tell that "Napoleon Dynamites" is a low budget film aswell
We got a lot of inspiration from the "Se7en Opening Credits" for the research. "Se7en" shows a lot of fast paced research and many words and writing which is a effect we wanted to use. It does not reveal too much about the film but it does give a rough idea what is going to happen what it is about and also what genre it is. By telling the audience what genre it is they can decide wether they want to see the film or not. I think "Se7en" and our opening scene show quite well that the genre is Horror/Thriller and the fans of this genre (mainly 16-25 year old males) are also our target audience.


We also looked at the research part of "The Ring - Part 5" (starting from 4:20 to 6:50) to get more ideas. For example typing into Google. The research in this film establishes a perfect atmosphere of looking things up in the past in an library. Obviously, we were determinded to create at least a similar environment.
