Analysing and contrasting Horror DVD covers

For my Media coursework I am doing research on 'Densely coding of opening sequences of specific genre films'. I wanted to analyse three films but then the requirement was 1800 words so i could only do two out of the three; which are Horror and Action and had to cut out Comedy. The film analysed from the horror genre is 'The Nightmare On Elm Street 2010' and the film in the Action genre is ' Terminator: The Rise of The Machines'. It was announced that whatever media research you do must be connected to the production piece. This production piece was said to be film/video and not print. So I felt this would be good because it relates to my question really well; i had the idea of doing a hybrid of a horror/action genre, which would be really good. However, my teachers decided to change it to print instead and this has left things to be very difficult for me. So now i am doing horror DVD covers, because they are my favourite genre in films. So let the process begin.
