RAMAN:
For this piece of work, we had to deconstruct a film's opening titles. I chose to deconstruct Insidious' opening because there were many titles. Each title had a background picture of a different place in a house, all in black and white and this makes you think of ghosts. Ghost hauntings and supernatural elements are some typical horror conventions which are added to scare the audience. Also, at 2:33 there is a shadow of somebody standing in the room but we cannot see their face - this could be either a person or a ghost. Anonymity is another horror convention, killers often cover their faces or attack in the dark so you can't see them and this oblivion frightens the audience. Then at 3:14, you see footprints which appear then disappear along the floor and this, again, makes you think that there is a ghost haunting the house.
