Opening Titles Analysis -- Panic Room (G321)

Just like the opening titles of the film Lord of War (2005), the opening titles of Panic Room (2002) give us selected bits of information about the film. For example due to the scenery shown in this title sequence we know that the film is set in a city and under closer observation we see that the city that the film is set in is New York.

We gain a lot of information from the soundtrack of the opening title sequence. For example due to the tone of the start of the soundtrack we know that the film has an eerie atmosphere to it. And when the tone of the soundtrack changes it becomes intense, this connotes that there is a tense atmosphere in the film.

The soundtrack also gives us information towards the films genre which we know is a thriller.
