Upon evaluating

Tying up my response to question 1 (I'm not doing these in numerical order) I realised the ways in which we challenged very common conventions of horror films. Many horror films actually begin by jumping straight into the storyline, displaying the titles later on. For example, Sinister (first image) begins with a chilling clip of a hanging- which you later learn is linked to the plot of the film. In contrast, Insidious (second image) begins with the titles first- like we did. Choosing to jump straight into the plot can have your audience hooked from the start but choosing to display titles first can also intrigue them even more. Food for thought.
