The opening sequence format for "The Conjuring" uses basic fonts as a horror can seem frightening to the audience if it's too simplistic. The format compliments the background as the colours are black and white, and we see brighter and more vibrant colours less frequently in horror films. The colours black and white normally symbolise dark and negative thoughts. For example, black symbolises death or darkness, which will frighten the audience as they feel uncomfortable when they can't visualise things clearly or discuss death. White symbolises things such as surrender, which could create the feeling that the characters in this film are trapped and there is darkness surrounding them, and this could result in death as they don't know where to go or what to do, and there could be a paranormal presence or a killer in the same area.
The opening sequence format for "Silent Hill: Revelations" is quite similar to The Conjuring as they both use basic fonts and the colours are black and white. This is slightly different as the letters in this title look slightly blurred which could show disorientation. This could be a reference to each individual character as they could find thereselves lost at one point throught the film, and what I can suggest from the colours is that this could result in them being isolated and they begin to wonder where they are and they start to panic. The characters will end up doing something stupid while panicking which could result in the death of each character.
