What makes a title sequence?

 Sound:
Non- diegetic: Although we didn't decide to use all of these options within our title sequence we felt it was important to include all of these options just as a back up. Some of these options however did seem like a key feature to use such as music and sound bridges to create an atmosphere.
Diegetic: In the end we didn't actually use either of these within our title sequence, however we did use the little girl breathing to create suspense for the audience.

 Camera angles and movement:
Different angles can be used to show different things and within a thriller this is crucial, an example would be  with shots like close ups as we were able to show the young girls frightened face which in turn would make the audience feel frightened for the girl.

 Lighting:
Lighting plays an important part within any genre of film. Within something like a romance, soft lighting is used a lot to create a romantic feel whereas within a thriller when hard lighting is used it makes the lighting seem very harsh and sinister. We wanted to create a similar feel within our thriller and so tried to create as much natural lighting as possible, but if needed we also use very artificial lighting.

Mise-en-scene:
This is used throughout all films, but what it is used for can change throughout the genre of the film. For costume we used very dark colours for the killer to show the evil and danger of his character which the audience would pick up on although they never actually see his face. Oppositely, the young girl was in pastel and white colours which shows the purity and angelic feel.
