'Dreamcatcher' opening analysis :-)

Institutions: Warner Bros. Pictures, Castle Rock Entetainment and Village Roadshow Pictures.
Warner Bros. Pictures are associated with other horror films, as are Castle Rock and they are famous for their involvement in the horror genre.
The opening of Dreamcatcher consisted of only the titles.
I didn’t think the opening reflected a lot of the horror genre; at all.
The colours were greys and whites and patterns were made in the background that resembled skulls of animals and there was a background pattern that was just teeth. This created a creepy, uneasy atmosphere which fits slightly to the horror genre, but this was all that was done.
Music was played while the titles were on screen, trance like music with a strong beat, but slow tempo. This, I feel, did not link to the horror genre, it created no atmosphere and seemed rather out of place.
I also feel that the opening titles were far too long, this made me bored and uninterested in watching any further. Most horror films are quick paced, jumpy and full of movement, to almost disorientate the viewer. This film was slow and didn’t pick up the pace, even after the titles.
Overall, I feel quick disappointed, as there was very little horror iconography, mise en scene, sound etc at all.
