Art Of The Title Sequence - Arlington Road

In my media lesson, we were told to look on Youtube or Art of the title sequence to find a film opening that we like and that uses most of the coventions. The film opening that I liked most was 'Arlington Road'. This title secquence uses most of the conventions of a film opening.

This title sequence has the name of the film 'Arlington Road', the names of the actors, name of the production company, name of the director, producer, co-producer and the name of the editor. The font of the the titles are white, bold and plain and is in medium font. This is probably done to make the audience focus on the titles as well as the images.  

The negative effects used on some of the pictures automatically creates suspense for the audience. I also found this technique unique as I have not seen many thriller film openings like this. The tracking shots work well with the negative effect and scary music in the background. There are many camera shots in this title sequence such as mids shots, wide shot and a lot of close up shots.

The whole title secquence is really nice and it pushes the audience to know more about the film and what actually happens in the film this is what makes a good opening of a film.
