Title Research: Penny Dreadful

I am watching a title sequence from the website Art of the Title. The movie is Penny Dreadful. There are 27 titles in the opening sequence. The images prioritized are mainly of insects, playing cards, close-ups of faces, snakes, bats, and blood. These images show suspense and horror. The horror genre is reinforced by the eerie music and unsettling images. The images speed up as the music does, which adds suspense and leaves the audience wondering what happens next. The film establishes enigma by telling a sort of story through the opening sequence, and then cutting off at the climax of the images and music. The film appeals to its target audience by showing images of blood, weapons, and other common horror movie aspects. Technology was used effectively by the images speeding up with the music, the close ups of suspicious looking peoples faces, and showing some of the clips in slow motion. The close-ups of the peoples faces makes the audience wonder who those people are, what they did or are going to do, and why they are important to the film.
