MY TITLES
The title of the film is in red and is bold which represents danger, death and blood. this shows the thriller element of the film. It comes on the screen accompanied by a typewriter sound which suggests that the film is just a story.
the other titles are in white, which show the innocence of some characters who could become victims.
We also have sound of people running during the titles which once again shows the thriller genre.
