For another part of the research for our opening scene we had to choose opening titles, this is very hard to try and find the perfect one to fit our film and the genre that goes with it. To help us out we looked at different titles from films which had the same genre to us and we analysed them, our favourite one out of the three was 'The Conjuring' even though it is simple it still gives of an eerie, creepy effect which we think the audience will be interested in. The background allows the title to stand out and doesn't give anything away to what the film is actually about, it also doesn't show if the film is going to be terrifying which would draw the audience in. 
The fonts we found which went the best with our film were these two below: the reason they go so well with our opening scene is because they are simple and don't take to much away from the effect of the background and it also gives the effect that they are eerie and it does not give the audience any indication to what the film is going to be about and how scary it is going to be. We decided that the 'Felix Titling' is the best one for our film as we believe 'The Conjuring' is the most effective out of the three examples we have above and the Felix is the one which is the most similar. The 'Perpetua Titling' is bold and stands out and is very similar to 'The Cabin In The Woods' which is the second favourite out of the three, so if the 'Felix Titling' does not work then we will try this one. 
In the opening two minutes of our film we have used very stereotypical features from horror films to make it achieve the best possible outcome. By linking our version of a horror film to other horror films we know have been very successful. We have used stereotypes such as the main character who will be played by 'Charlotte Weston' is a young school girl who is walking home, she wants to take a shorter route so she leaves her friends and she goes on her own through the woods. Already the audience will be able to tell that by her going off on her own she is vulnerable and she shouldn't be walking through a dull woods on her own. The reason we have chosen to use a young girl as stereo-typically she is at more risk than if it was a boy because he would most likely be able to look after himself and the audience wouldn't be as worried which isn't the reaction we want. We have chosen a man as the antagonist because stereo-typically they have more power over a young girl and would have the strength to grab her. This would also grab the audience's attention because they would see the man approaching her but to start with she doesn't realise and they would want to carry on watching, which i believe makes a successful horror film.
This will make the setting stand out and the audience will get a clear understanding of where the scene is set. Usually a film starts with a long shot to show the setting. 
This shot can be very effective because it can show two characters in one shot and you can feel the feelings between both of them within a few seconds. 
This shot is effective because you can focus heavily on the emotions of the characters and identify their mood. It also blurs out everything in the background just to focus on the face which gives the best effect on the audience.
This shot is very similar to close up shots but usually the extreme close up fits the whole frame so you can see every detail of the object or face. For example if the camera is focusing specifically on the eyes this is done to create tension or sadness of the image. 
An extreme long shot is done to establish the scene and mood. This has a good effect on the audience because it creates tension as you can be looking at everything all the time so it may suggest that something is going to jump out on you. .jpg)
This has a very good impact on the audience as it again shows the emotions in the face or shows detail on an object. It is also very similar to a birds eye view but instead on using a helicopter, a crane is used to elevate the camera and focuses on filming something on the ground.
