The first thing we see is the title of the movie. This is accompanied by some eerie background music. We then see the director credits. These are followed by the cast. Then the music composers. The images shown are pretty scary. You can tell that they are truly trying to frighten you. Scary images of wolves, children and symbols were appearing. These were all showing a sense of knowing that you are about to be scared. They show a sense of scariness which adds to the genre of horror. Great introduction showing the terrifying nature of the film. Technology was used effectively. The background music really helped to create the sense of horror. The transitions were also very smooth.
