Film Project Genre Research- Halloween (1978)

Halloween- The opening credits starts off with a black screen and a pumpkin on the far left side, using the rule of thirds with the pumpkin taking up one third and the credits taking up the rest. As the credits slowly role in crediting the film makers. The camera slowly moves to the pumpkin until it's a close up. Truly letting the viewer know the setting of Halloween. The opening scene starts off with a sound bridge of what sounds like kids chanting about Halloween, and it states the place and exact date of the movie.  After the sound bridge we open to a long shot point of view of a suburban house with no sound. With that it allows the viewer to understand the setting of the movie completely but that is about it. The job titles listed are just about every major component that goes into the film process. The film budget was 325,000 dollars and the box office was roughly 70 million dollars worldwide with a profit of 69,675,000 million dollars you could say it was quite a successful film. It gained the Saturn Award for Best Blu-ray or DVD collection in 2014 and was nominated for the Saturn Award for best horror film in 1979.
