In this opening it starts off with a close up of a substance that looks like blood on a black background, it moves as if it is being poured and once that is done, it reveals ancient type murals. The would mean that the substance could be revealing the pictures underneath it from the black, or even creating the images, telling a story or secrets.

The camera angle would be at a straight angle, whilst closing up on certain areas, whilst someone pours the red type substance on something that stand slightly tilted, so it travels down, joins together and spreads around, but not to fast that it just drips off. This process could also be slowed down, to give a dramatic effect of the blood type substance to be actually pouring out of someone, this could also let the audience subconsciously know that there will be death and blood involved without actually having to tell them. 

The adding in of something old/ancient is usually seen as quite creepy because it is involved in most horror thrillers, then made to be scary, so nowadays when we thing of things like and old doll for instance, we don't think 'wow that's an old doll, maybe it was someone's grandmothers' we think 'Oh my god, that's a scary doll, look its so old, its probably possessed or something' so he director uses things we are familiar with so they don't have to create a scary object.

The colour of the font is red, this may be to match the colour of the blood and to make it more eye catching/ make it stand out. The font is similar to georgia, which is quite bold
