Pros and cons of the horror genre...

Before I make my final decision of which genre I would like to use for my own opening sequence. 


The pro's

• The location for a horror film, I think would be easier to find. As you could use a very typical location, e.g. a forest.
• Something as simple as lighting can make your opening sequence very effective as it's such a big convention in a horror film.
• You can achieve the desired effect on a low budget.

The con's

• Although the location would be easy to find it would be very typical and therefore slightly more boring and less original. 
• The lighting may be effective however it is more than likely to look different on the camera and the computer. 
• It would also be quite easy to fall into the trap of making your opening sequence look like a trailer.
