COMBINING SOUND, IMAGE AND TITLES.
You need to make very careful decisions about titles, choosing the most appropriate font, colour and size from the vast array that your software will present. You should have creative decisions about where to place each title. Each title is making to the audience’s understanding of the narrative, the genre and the representation aspects that you need them to grasp quickly since this is an opening sequence.
In addition you will be using music to add ambience to the start of your film, you must think very carefully about the semiotic function of music and ensure that what the music suggests to the audience is in keeping with the tone and pace of the drama you are unfolding.

Final OPENING HORROR SEQUENCE NAME IDEAS:
Beyond The Veil:
Christians believe that beyond the veil means 'the unknown state of a being after death.'
To pass beyond the veil:
Which means to die.
To see beyond the veil:
Means to know the mysteries of the after life/next life.
We thought that all three of these idea names for our horror name would fit perfectly with our opening horror title sequence. We thought they would fit because in our opening sequence we are using a Ouija board to connect to the dead and also have Kirsty getting possessed by a demon/spirit. These names would all fit as they all mean something to do with spirits, demons, after life and death.
