Art Of The Title

Target Audience

As our opening sequence is a psychological horror we did a tally chart of the age groups that like watching psychological horrors and we found out that people between the ages of 15-25 most enjoy psychological horrors/thrillers.

This chart shows how many people out of 80 between those ages enjoy watching psychological horrors rather than any other genre.

As it shows on the chart people between the ages of 15-25 enjoy watching psychological horrors the most so we decided that this will be our target audience, as it is a very popular genre between those ages.

Update

In today's lesson we finished our opening sequence! It is now uploaded on youtube with all the sound effects and credits we were trying to fix.

Costumes - Main Character

In our opening sequence we decided to dress our main character in a regular and comfortable outfit, that a teenage would wear on a daily basis, so it is not a stereotypical girly outfit nor is it a boyish outfit. The reason behind is is because we want to portray that this sequence happened on a regular day in the life of a teenager and it is nothing too tacky or overwhelming. She is wearing a simple top, jeans and a backpack. 

"You Shouldn't Have Done That"

Our group got inspired by the creepypasta "Ben Drowned" which is a story about a boy named Ben who had a cursed copy of the game: Legend of Zelda. The quotes that we want to use in our opening sequence were "You Shouldn't Have Done That"

In our opening sequence the screen automatically turns back on in the static room with the words "You Shouldn't Have Done That" after she turns it off.

Representation On Lighting

The colour scheme of our entire opening sequence is mainly in the grayscale and all the colours are dark and cold to represent the feeling of the character and audience and create an effect of danger and fear. The lighting is also quite dark and it sets the entire mood of the sequence and puts the audience in a state of fear.   

The colours are not vibrant and happy but the opposite.  We also got inspired by Psychological Horror game Silent Hill P.T. as it has a shot that we tried to recreate using the school corridor and the outcome is quite similar. The picture above is of our opening sequence corridor and the picture on the left is of Silent Hill P.T. The lighting is really important in horror films because darkness is stereotypically associated with the horror genre and danger.
