Woman In Black - Thriller suspense analysis and research

Here's some example research that is illuminating my planning. Don't know what's happened to the size of the letters below!

The film opening begins directly with the titles. The media language immediately tells the audience they are watching a thriller. The titles are very simplistic with a black background and simple block font, in a an off-white colour. The letters appear to have little chunks missing out of them. Also, at some points more noticeable than others, there is a visible black shadow/cloud effect moving across the words on screen. The imperfect font connotes imperfection; something wrong, as does the off-white colour. The black background together with the shadows connote fear. This will be immediately recognisable to the audience as iconography associated with the thriller genre.

I think that there are some characteristic elements that would be useful in the start of another movie. The iconographic use of cloud could be a useful background to some of the action in the start of our film. It should be relatively easy to shoot on a overcast and gloomy day to ramp up the threat level from the very start.
