Research into title sequences

 

Title sequences are very important for the opening of films for they present who is starring in the movie, who the production/distribution companies are and the makers of the movie, such as the director and the editor.
 
One thing that caught my eye from watching the opening sequence from Panic Room was that the credits the cast stood out, and they were structured mainly on or next to the buildings of the city this film was based in. The titles are 3D and they look metallic. It also seems as though they are a part of the buildings because of how they are structured. The soundtrack is effective also, for it starts off with city sounds, such as cars driving, with suspense building background music playing slightly, so that you can hear both diagetic and non-diagetic sounds.
After the name of the film appears on the screen, the music turns into thrilling and exciting music, which anticipates a chase or action of some sort.
