This is the opening scene to The Purge. Within this opening scene it is all dark and scary which links to the feel/conventions of a typical horror film. The beginning title of the film is a film distribution and production company which is in small letters just out of the middle of the page on a blank screen. I wanted to base the titles around this due to the fact that it makes a mysterious impact-it is blank and small which quite a few horror films have such as: The Conjuring and Paranormal Activity.

This is the opening sequence for the conjuring which is very similar to the purge credits due to the fact that they are small and plain. The only difference is, the titles are always on a blank screen which occasionally has animated pictures popping up every once and a while which aren't really relevant to the film itself. Additionally, the fact that the titles are on a blank screen creates mystery as the audience are unaware of what the film is going to be like. Whereas, The Purge credits show what is happening and what will happen within the film while the titles are running. I have decided to use titles similar to The Purge and The Conjuring due to the fact that they are both small and plain however still do not fail to get the point across. I want my titles to be on a blank screen-making sure that the audience actually read them and do not get distracted by what is going on in the background.
