The images in the title

There are images of a pumpkin, with its eyes and mouth glowing.

Types of shots which are used

The types of shots used in this title sequence are wide shots, medium shots, close ups and extreme close ups. I think it is set out this way because, the audience are suppose to get a sense that the pumpkin is coming closer. I noticed that, on the top left of the title sequence there is a wide shot of the pumpkin, then at the bottom right, the pumpkin has gone. It is like an unexpected disappearance, almost like a ghost.

What appeals to me

In this title sequence, the colour of the writing, on the black background, catches my eye because it gives titles that glowy look, that says "spooky", it is not dull. The pumpkin, also catches my eye beause, it glows, and the way it is coming closer, i think that is effective.

Overall, i think that they have made this title sequence in an effective way, and have used their imagination wisely. The font, colour and style of the writing of the title sequence, links in with the actual title of the movie "HALLOWEEN".
