From this data we can tell that overall, people seem to like horror films, and in particular like the opening credits for seven. This is fortunate for us and our prject, as we are going to do a horror themed opening sequence, which is looosly based on the seven opening sequence, we found out from the analysis of the sequence what effects and techniques they use to make the [peice effective and we could reflect this into our work. the questionnaires prove this is a good idea as our target audience have voted horror their favorite type of genre. From ou7r research we also found that the montage of clips used in the seven opening sequence is generally apreciated buy our target audience. we will include a montage of clips in our opening sequence, because of the research we have collected we know it will be popular and enjoyed buy our audience. the evidence for a horror film being the most popular type of genre is unlear in the catogory of gender. we could collect more data to disifer which gender our peice would appeal to more and use advertising to aim it mainly at them to make it more sucesful, although horror in generally though to be a genre that appeals to both sexes. our audience though that saw had the scarist opening sequence, because we want our opening sequence to be scary we could use elements from this to increse the tension and atmosphere. a good tenchnique used in the saw opening is the use of lightin, shadow and darkness are used to increse the forboding feeling, and we could use low lighting to make our peice more scary.
