Our chosen genre consisted of two types of horror our first being slasher and our second being paranormal. We researched into both genres of horror to see if we could take on any new ideas to help improve ours. We looked at a few different types of theorist and there connotations of the first victim. We were looking for new ideas to make our opening title sequence the best it can be. Some ideas we would wish to use in our opening title sequence would be to use the typical killer who has a troubled past and to also use the idea of our first victims.
