   The production titles are presented in bold and capital letters,which is are used to catch the viewer's attention.
They also fade in, they start out red (which connotes blood and violence), before that they fade to orange (which connotes Halloween), and then turn red once more just before fading out. This pattern is repeated with the rest of the opening credits and I believe that it's symbolic of the films narrative.After that a pumpkin on its own appears on the screen, which is joined by a credit fading in to the centre, it's notable because it proceeds the film's title, which means that this actor is be the most well-known in the film.The composition of the titles is following the rule of thirds, which makes the audience more interested to continue watching and focuses their attention on the text.
