Comparing Title Sequences

 'American Horror Story'

We begin with the opening title sequence of 'American Horror Story: Murder House'. The very first season of the infamous series. The series follows a particular horror story each season, within historic context or within an alternate reality unrelated to humanity. The series is directed by Ryan Murphy, a horror fanatic. Who claims this series produced some of his best work. 



How is genre conveyed? 

The genre of 'horror' is presented clearly, by use of non-diegetic soundtrack that appears malicious and deviant, heavily juxtaposed by pictures of seemingly happy children. This contrast makes audiences uncomfortable, furthermore, helping Murphy achieve his goal of successfully portraying 'horror'. 


What key titles appear?

To begin with, the names of the key actors appear. Such as 'Evan Peters' a successful American actor and film producer who featured heavily within Murphy's series.
