At the beginning of this film for 1-minute and 24 seconds there are titles such as,
A universal Picture, A company production, Starring and all of these are bold, white which is on a black background and the font is very basic something like times new roman. The other titles are in a smaller size which is not in bold writing like edited by, music by, designer, screenplay by, producer by and this is to make the persons name to stand out.


This week we have looked at the beginnings of horror films to get a range of ideas for our own horror film. We have looked at IMBD to see what certificate it would be best for our horror film to be and we decided to chose the one which was the most popular and the age of people who went to see horror films.

Findings.

We found that the most common certificate for horror films was 15 and 18.
The most common target audiecne was females aged 18 or under.
