They are different because of the background colours as the purge has the colours of the american flag and the inner demons has colours that remind us of hell because of the bright red and black.

Social media appears at the very end of a trailer.

Quotes from films appear every few seconds.

The Production/Distribution companies usually are a few minutes in the trailer.

Where is the title placed in the sequence? why?

• Titles are usually a few seconds before the trailer finishes because producers leave the best at the end, it will make an effect to the audience especially in the horror genre as incidental music and effective animation is added with it.

How do they fit in with the narrative structure and narrative enigmas

Trailers will always include non-linear narratives therefore credits do not have a specific order but appear at different times.

Narrative enigma’s are shown below. The way the narrative enigma’s are fitted are between faded transitions as the trailer carries on, thye just go with the flow.

How do they fit in with genre/subgenre

•This title fits the subgenre by the colours (red) because red indicates danger and blood. •It also has an glowing effect so it reflects souls, this fits because demons are involved with souls

The title fits to the genre here because it has a landscape of the city in the background. City can relate to crime.

This credit fits its genre because it has a black background colour which indicates mystery. The movement of the credit is slow along with slow pace scoremusic.
