In Media, we watched a series of thriller opening title sequences and how they created suspense, I have decided to write about the opening title sequence of the thriller Panic room. In the title sequence, Panic Room does not specify what is happening. The Images of New York City are shown to establish the location. This does not really create suspense as the effect of this is only to tell the audience where the film is located. Camera angles such as extreme shots, long shots, ariel shot and low angle shots are present. The effect of this is also to establish the location. Diegetic sounds were not present, only non-diegetic sounds. The music was very heavy and dramatic, and ticking sounds were present this created suspense as the music creates the scene and sets the mood. The setting was based in New York, the lighting was very bright which could represent safety, props such as cars on the road were present, but no main character were in the opening title sequence. The editing was mainly panning shots of New York. The special effects added made the titles look 3-D. The titles were in white and the font was very bold. The entire opening title sequence created suspense mainly through the use of sound and editing.
