Analysis of Titles.

The titles which occur in Edward Scissorhands have influenced me to use similar effects within my opening sequence.

As you can see, the use of the white writing over the black background creates an on edge creepy effect, which is again conventional for horror. 


I also like the white writing over the top of different objects which is shown in the bottom right hand corner, the use of the snow on the black background with white titles over the top has also influenced me to do something similar, as i feel it creates a good effect.

Before i came across these titles, i had an idea to have my title "The Unexpected" appear over the top of the window in Sophie (Brogans) room, this will show the darkness and enable the audience to realise where it is all situated, and it will also allow the audience to imagine something bad will be happening, due to the empty window, with no light what so ever. Therefore, after i found the titles to Edward Scissorhands i think i will defiantly do this, as it illustrates similar ideas have worked in the past.

As well as this,  i think the font type works well with the film, the angle of the titles create a dramatic effect which i think i might decide to try out similar effects. I will mainly have my titles appearing in between different shots presented on a black background, however as i have mentioned the title of my film will be shown over the top of one particular shot, due to my own thoughts and after looking at these specific titles.
