In the Cabin In the Woods, it starts off with blood pouring over walls which have carving on it. This instantly lets the audience know they are watching a mystery or horror. The credits are also in red, associated with the blood and danger theme.
The title comes up in red, which fits with the name credits. It is played with music of firstly the sound of someone screeching and then dark gloomy music. Which really engages the audience and makes/keeps them interested as the title sequence is 5:48minutes so they need to ensure the audience want to carry on watching it.
Next is the equilibrium, it's all happy in the street with teenagers which appeals to the target audience as they are of a similar age. The credits are still appearing at this point however contrasting from the scene as they are red and pouring alike blood.
The young girl in her underwear appeals to the male audience as it attracts them to the screen. The camera comes from outside to inside her window, making the audience know she is a main character.
Stereotypes are used on the characters. This is a young male playing rugby/American football who is appealing to the female audience.
More characters are now shown and they are seen to be the main characters to the audience. This then creates the enigma if what is going to happen to them.
