As you can see from the films above, the sub-genre slasher and is proving to be very popular as 'SAW' is one of the most popular on Netflix. This is why we have chosen for our sub-genre of our opening-title sequence to be slasher, as it is popular in the market place for rentals of films at this time. Slashers being popular means there is a market for slashers and they are obviously very popular amongst people renting films.

The most popular being "BOO!", a theme throughout the most popular horrors seem to be paranormal with films such as "lights out' and don't "breathe" proving popular. However although paranormal is seeming to be very popular on vudu we have still chosen to do a slasher about a clown as there is clearly a gap in the market for this type of horror. Therefore by choosing to do our opening title sequence as a slasher based around a clown we are providing the public with what there is a gap in the market for.
