Title sequence for Alien
The title sequence for Alien fits in with its genre sci-fi/horror as the title sequence is set out in space.
The title sequence includes the producers, executive producer, film creator, actors and actresses, conductor, director and lastly the title of the film.
The title slowly appears through out the title sequence with just parts of the letters coming up, then once all the other titles come up it finally appears all together at the end, this is effective as it creates a mysterious atmosphere that keeps the audience guessing throughout the sequence.
There is no sound as it is set in space, but there is an echo sounds through out the sequence so it is not completely silent, the echo noise could possibly be the sound of the engine of the space ship, that is revealed after the titles are up.
This creates a sense of abandonment and isolation as there are no living things on the screen or sound, this is not the norm as where ever you go you can hear noise even if its just the sound of a car or plane, instead of another living person.
When the camera focuses on the space ship where the film is mainly set, you can hear the echo of the engine which is the only man made product out there, this shows there could be people out there.
During the title sequence we are not yet introduced to any of the characters yet which contributes to the sense of loneliness, and also this builds up tension as the audiences awaits the arrival of the cast who will be in the film.

Changed my film idea
Over the christmas break I've decided I will change my ideas but keep the same theme of horror/murder.
The reason for changing it was I simply was not happy with my first idea and wanted to change it as i could not do the original location and some of the cast could not make it.
I've decided to set it in the woods and have a couple walking their dog through the woods and they then hear their dog barking and rush over to find the body of a person they saw walk through the woods at the beginning and said hello to.
The couple then rush around trying to find the way they came in from but cant find the exit, the camera then focuses out and you see the back of the murderer holding a bloody knife, this is when the title appears and the actors and other cast members names appear.
The camera follows one of the couples running through the woods, when the person stops and the camera is on the back of their head you hear heavy breathing and the person turns around and screams this is when it ends.
For this I will include a cast of three and a dog set in a woods, I will also include quite music in the back ground at the beginning just to set the scene but when the people find the body the music will stop and the sound of their breathing will be the main sound.
