Analysis Of Opening Titles

The counjuring

http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-conjuring/


When we watched the opening titles for the counjuring it immediatly created a sense of fear as the background music was very mysterious and edgey. As the titles were coming up behind them was news reports of a family and hem moving into a old house. This makes the viewer want to know more as they want to know who the family are and why they were in the news. Also the lighting was all in low key, so was dark and dull, his also put the viewer on edge as we associate dark dull colours with negative and scary things. The images used of the house, on the newsapers were in black and white suggesting that it was in the past and that the house has a history. Throughtout the titles bits of papers and images are being switched and put over a lightbox projector, this suggest someone is showing these papers to a group of people, maybe its now an investigaion whatever happened to this family in the house. So all of this creates a sense of the unknown, and mystery. This intregues the viewers.
