Opening sequence to True Blood

Although true blood isn't a film, the opening sequence has a strong supernatural feel. A lot of the supernatural films I tried finding the opening sequence for were not on the Internet therefore I had to think of different opening sequences to use.

Also it will be useful to me to see the difference between a supernatural television series and a film opening sequence.

Genre

The genre is supernatural. This can be observed through the use of blood, and the constant references to the devil and vampires.

Character

The characters suggested in the opening sequence are those of a supernatural being, or humans that are against the supernatural each with lots of anger and sexual urges. This is shown through the continual use of blood suggesting vampires, and the graffiti say "God hates fangs" 

Atmosphere

The atmosphere created is one of evil and danger. this is done through the connititions of the red blood throughout the opening sequence

Themes

The themes present in the opening sequence are blood, danger, romance and action. This is shown through the erotic scenes, blood scences and the scenes in which someone is being exocised.

Setting

The opeing sequence is set in a rural town which is shown through the use of small comunities shown in the clip, like the church scene.

Titles

The titles are not intergrated into the opening squence apart from the title of the opening sequence. The font is bold on one word and non bold on the word next to it which connotes unease and the paranormal.

Sound

The song being played is titled "Bad Things" and the repetative line being sang is "I wanna do bad things to you" connoting sexual desire and also evil paranormal activities.
Evaluation

The clever use of blood and the song being played makes this opening sequence a very effective opening sequence. It is scary, sexual and very focused on the evil side of life which is shown through a wide variety of effective techiques like the font use, and the exocism clips.
