Title Timeline

As a group we decided to watch the title sequence to the thriller film "Wrong Turn". The film started with narrative, therefore we began analysing the titles in terms of audio and visual at the timing of 3.00 minutes when the title sequence itself began.

From looking at the timeline one can see that the credits themselves are superimposed over the top of the visual shots, therefore they are gradually integrated between the duration of the sequence. Between each credit a close up shot of something is shown, either newspaper headlines, or establishing close ups of a forest. Simple shots like close ups of disorientated hands look successful in gaining effect, therefore we took this into consideration when looking at our own title sequence.

With "Wrong Turn" when watching it in terms of the audio, we thought the simplistic audio of scratching and sharpening knives added a gothic effect; then hearing the low menacing music that is introduced at about 03.28, giving the overall element of fear. We took this as inspiration for our own opening sequence, where we will attempt to find music along the same lines of this peice, so that it will post no distractions to our visual yet ading a mysterious effect.
