Opening Title sequence analysis - Evil Dead

Here is what you should look at when you are analyzing a title sequence

• How does the title sequence establish character, genre and narrative?
• How does the title sequence attract an audiences attention?
• What do you consider to be the target audience and why?
• Who has produced the film and how is that evident? 

The Evil dead is a film produced by Rob Tapert, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. this is evident because in the title sequence because their names are shown in a bold font and in a blood red type of colour,

   

The title sequence helps establish the genre as horror by using an extortionate amount of blood. This may tell us that the film will consist of gory murders and blood shed. In the title sequence their is a clip of blood running down the stairs, this will intrigue the audience and will make them want to continue watching to find out what caused this. The horror genre is further established through the use of the bold and red font, this tells us that this film will definitely include a huge amount of blood and gore. The red font may also give the audience a feeling of danger and violence. There has purposely been a a dark and miserable effect created by using colors like black and red, this is then developed by the slow opera music playing over the title sequence.

From looking at this title sequence i feel that this horror film is aimed at people who enjoys films involving murder and violence. I think this is because of the use of blood in the title sequence, the blood foreshadows the countless killings that will occur in the throughout the film.
