The gargoyle is associated with being gothic and the
motion in how this is revealed flickers black and each
time more of it is revealed.
Surrounded by darkness the castle creates mystery
and the lightning makes it scary

8. Ghost House Pictures
Skull is associated with death and ‘Ghost’
is portrayed with the skull as the opacity
is low
The black background contrasts with the
white font as it makes the title stand out
and the black alludes to death and shows
that it specialises in the Horror genre.

9. Vertigo Entertainment
The red, bold font stands out and is
centre of the screen so that nothing
is distracted away from it
The text zooms in and it becomes clearer
to see as it dominates majority of the
space, showing its importance

The bottom word shifts to the left. While the focus is improving and becoming clearer.
The right edge of the bottom word fades in with the colour of the background, as it is flat at
the beginnning and then curves to give that metalic look as it is with the the style of the words.
When whole picture becomes lighter for a second to lighten the whole animation and add in
something different (other than the movements)

• The zooming out effect is very interesting and shows clear detail at the start then it
closely turns into abstract and goes into a ‘spacy’ theme but its still with the same
colour but different shades.

• The words in a perfect pace that fits with the movement of the words anmd goes in
the right direction for audience to to read clearly.

The image changes shape during the zooming out and so does the colour of the mountain
Title fades in and appears in the same colour as the shallow focus in the back
The spark also represents the sun and its the first thing that comes up in the intro.

• Before the effect the main word has a glowing effect while its closer to the
auidence then when its futher away (after the effect) its clear and sharp.
• The production is simple because it just has a plain black backgroud and a
effect.
•The font looks proffesional because its white on black and the words are
straight and neat
