related title sequences to our thriller

We watched thriller title sequences that could relate to our two mane ideas , firstly the idea of the crocodile  and then the idea of the haunted house or hotel . we took notes on each title sequence and how they could relate to ours.

For the haunted idea we watched
Hostel
Tenant
Taken
repulsion

we watched these few as some scenes were similar to our full plot of our original horror thriller idea , including scenes with screaming coming from rooms , which relates to a scene we were going to include in our title sequence.

Hostel included a dark , damp area , with blood going down a drain , implying certain moods and atmospheres in the title sequence.

Taken- the into establishes a birthday party with grainy footage that suggested it was seen by characters .
The tenant began with an establishing high shot that showed a run down building that the film was probably based in

For the crocodile idea we watched the following

jaws
alligator
lake placid
monsters
clover field

Jaws started underwater shows the water is key to the film , cuts to surface to show shot of beach showing beginning scene , shots of girl in water , as of tip be a shark.

alligator shows extreme close up of alligators eyes , suggesting the films plot , then zooms to show where and what is happening , alligator has blood foreshowing what's about to happen.
 

Lake placid was similar to the shining , building tension , text is like water ripples , goes underwater suggesting plot.

monsters , text suggests plot of film , suddenly starts with jumpy loud noises , ending tension. 

clover field ,  emergency broadcast builds tension , suggests plot of film immediately , central park on news flash, shows films base.

The exercise gave us ideas on what to include and how other films built tension or showed the ideas and areas the films would cover in their title sequences.
