Intertextuality

This page is about my influences towards the making of my own horror opening credits.

The first film, that influenced me to create a thriller horror films opening credits was Se7en, as it doesn't release the identity of the villain only towards the end of the film. This keeps the enigma code, as creates mystery throughout the film and keeps the audience guessing. I used this idea in my planning as it enable me to plan to use the enigma code and keep the audience interested and watch the film till the end.

The second film, that influenced me to create a thriller horror films opening credits was The Shining, as it shows the psychological effects on a male character. I used this to plan for my opening credits, as I wanted to use a psychological male within my credits to show the character was un - stable.
