Art of the Title Sequence

We were introduced to the website www.artofthetitle.com which is a website about title sequences.   There is a wide range of films and the majority of them have screen grabs of the opening sequence. I chose to analyse 'Panic Room'.

The opening of 'Panic Room' is like one big establishing shot. All the shots are clearly of New York therefore establishing were the action throughout the film will take place. The sequence starts of with the production information and then continues with the actors names which stand out more than the production. This is because the names are bigger and the camera pans and zooms in. Then the title appears and the music becomes more intense. From then onwards the sequence is more upbeat and prepares you for the film to come.
