Evaluation of AOTT activity DYM

1. Our movie idea was a horror movie about a collection of haunted dolls based in a large house which a family go and stay in. In out film opening the setting of the haunted house is introduced and there is a montage of shots of the dolls around the house.

2. Information on the setting of the movie, the director, writer, producer, musical director and the title of the movie is included in our opening. The audience also gets a clear sense of the horror genre in the title sequence.

3. The titles link to the main film idea as they connote a strong sense of genre and include the main theme which is the haunted dolls.

4. The audience response to our opening should be that they are shocked and scared by the graphic images of blood and the dolls, they should also be intrigued to watch the rest of the film as the opening is quite ambiguous; it does give away much of the story but just sets up the main theme and setting.

5. In our opening sequence we included:

• The movie title- this is important to include in the movie's opening sequence as it is basic information the audience wants to know about the movie. 
• Key production and cast members- this is important to include as you have to credit that cast and production team for the making of the movie. 
• Horror images of the dolls- this is important in order to establish the setting and tone of the movie.

6. Our project is effective as a film opening as if conveys a clear sense of the horror genre while still not giving away too much information about the story which leaves the audience excited to watch the rest of the movie. It also includes all the necessary information such as director and producer names etc. The typeface we used for the credits work along side the creepy images to build up the horror genre in the opening.
