Opening Titles

For our final project in Media Studies we are making opening titles of a film.We have chosen work on the theme of triller/slasher. We have decided the location for the video. It will be Saad's house. I am working on the story of the video i.e. how to make an opening title out of the story that we have made. I am also working on the casting. Since it will only be an approximately 2 minute film, we will have to make the opening titles of a kind that will be easily understandable for the audience and also make the story clear.


I saw a few opening titles of films relating to our genre i.e. the horror/slasher/thriller genre. I have posted them bellow:

 (Glass House II: The Good Mother)

Saw II Opening Title 

(I could not embed this video to the blog because the embeding code was not available but I posted the link because it is a proper opening title, with company logo's appearing in the beginning)  

(I Still Know What You Did Last Summer)

(Scream)

(Amusement)

House Of Wax Opening Title

(I could not embed this video to the blog because the embeding code was not available but I posted the link because it is a proper opening title, with company logo's appearing in the beginning)

Final Institution for Final Project

Our group has decided on our institution for our final project. We found out that Dimension Films have made the most famous Slasher films so far and since our final media project will be made on the theme of thriller/slasher films, we will be using Dimension Films as our institution. It is unfortunate that I have been unable to attend the internship arranged by our teachers due to some reasons, however I will definitely catch up with Afia and Saad with what they have been doing at the internship. I have also searched on some of the thriller/horror/slasher films that Dimension Films have made and have posted their links below:
