TITLE SEQUENCE -The Conjuring

For the title sequence that i am hoping to create with the group, I would hope to pay homage to the comjuring's title sequence as i think that it would relate quite well to the film we are hoping to create, a abandoned house and a book, its because i like the idea that in the title sequence the book is in the background including the book which we could use a similar idea as we would like to include a book as the object that the character will find to start things off.

This screenshot shows how the trailer progresses as the newspaper, i assume because it isn't clear as the shot is an extreme close up, moves through, i think we are purposely not able to be able to decide what the 'newspaper' is whether it even is a 'newspaper' at all, this makes the viewer unsure as we have no clue of a date, location or the characters yet. This is a signifier for a newspaper flicking through and that the signification is the way that it actually looks like a old newspaper. But all in all with the sound effects and music the signification is that something weird is going on we also know this from the writing above the picture 'Haunted Artifacts Museum'.

I think that this screenshot yet again shows the signification of the 'newspaper' because of the heading on this particular story. it also shows us some information about the producers as we now know the editors name 'Kirk Morri.

These screenshot's shows us how this particular opening sequence shows us the the characters presumably the main characters in the film, i presume this because they are in the title sequence, this shows they're role in the film and they're authority, including the camera angle as i would say that we are slightly looking up to the character.

This is the end shot of the title sequence personally i like this one because i thing it is a good establishing shot of I abandoned location I presume, i also quite like the framing of the building i think the trees act as a good framing device for the final shot. I also think that the noose also gives a clear insight on whats to come in the film. Hopefully as i have said i would like to pay homage to this title sequence when we are doing ours and this shot may be something that we use, something like this as we are thinking about using a abandoned building to film in so this shot is very relevant to our ideas.

My idea is to take shots of each of the places we will visit in our filming and use them in the title sequence as this on does, this is to give a sense of what is going to happen in the film. then with these shots maybe put a filter over and use a old book to five the same impression that it does in The Conjuring's title sequence.
