RESEARCH INTO MUSIC AND TITLE SEQUENCES

Title sequence

A  title sequence is the method by which films or television programmes present their title, key production and cast members, or both, utilizing conceptual visuals and sounds. It usually follows but should not be confused with the opening credits, which are generally nothing more than a series of superimposed text. The opening credits of motion pictures list the most important members of the production and they are either superimposed on a blank screen or over the action. There may or may not be accompanying music. The aim of an opening sequence may be to establish: character, setting, genre, mood or atmosphere. Title sequence often also include: Director, Producer, Executive producer, other key crew, top billing actors and the film title.
These are some examples:

Music can be a fundamental part of making a thriller film as it can completely change the mood of a scene. for example slow music can make a scene serious and make the viewers nervous and on edge. Whereas action thrillers might use more fast-paced music to match the actions that are going on in the film. High tension music is most commonly used in thrillers. Sometimes however in complete contrast to this silence is used, this makes the audience tense. In the inception opening title sequence fast paced music is used to create tension and throughout the title sequence the music gets deeper and more tense which implies to the audience that something is about to happen at the end. The colours red and black also are used to connote death, blood, pain and suffering at the same time which adds to the thriller genre.
