Panic Room Opening

How do the credits reflect the genre?
The credits appear to be floating in the city, which does not do much for reflecting the genre other then looking interesting, however the music creates an atmosphere that makes the viewer feel uncomfortable creating suspense. This is because the music is slow and does not fit the image that is being shown, as being a city you would expect lots of noise from cars and people talking in the street. This is called Asynchronous sound.

How are they unusual?
The credits are unusual because you would expect a fast paced introduction with typical, fast paced thriller noises, however it is slow and uncomfortable. This is effective use of Asynchronous sound.

Will you use a similar style?
In our thriller opening we will show our credits in a similar way as we will have the credits come up so it appears on the film with the action, rather then having a separate introduction. We will not be using a slow pace song however, we are using a fast-paced drum and bass soundtrack to pick up the pace of our film.
