The main image shown across the screen is the red box that it overshadowed across the white screen that travels throughout the opening sequence. As it travels across the screen, it uncovers the titles. This opening is very ominous and calm, giving off a freaky vibe. The genre is reinforced by the the way the images appear which gives you a very off feeling and the music being played to deeper that feeling. The film is using a strong visual and abstract style. It also seems to correspond with what may those in the film may be mentally. They use the technology in great perspective. They use the high and wide angle as they create very obscene images. It seems like they are uncovering secrets in horror through the transparency. The editing was clean and went very well with what seems to be animation. The film created a very ominous and unique way of creating an opening title sequence. This whole title is an enigma as you dont exactly know what happens in the films through the different sequences. It seems more like subtle hints.
