A title sequence needs to stick to the genre of the film. As a horror comedy, our film's title sequence should have spooky themes, making it appear to be frightening, dispite the comedy to follow. In order to create the eerie themes we should include scary, tension building music and sound effects as these things make people feel scared and uncomfortable due to their links to horror. We should also have the screen dark and eerie with writing in a plain or scary font, no fancy bubble writing or things associated with romance or happiness.
A title sequence musit also include the cast and crew. This will be easy to do as the cast and crew is entirely made up of our four person group. People will have multiple roles to fill, like camera man and director, which will mean listing one person in the credits with lots of different jobs. This will be much easier than trying to remember a long list of people who all had seperate small jobs.
In order to get into the film more quickly, the title sequence often plays over the begining of the film, and cast members names still apear when the film has begun. However ending credits play after the film, almost as a seperate thing to the film. However it is not uncommon to have a short piece of film, lasting usually less than thrity seconds, after the ending credits have roled. This entices people to stay watching through all of the credits and to read the cast and crew, giving them more credit than expected.
