Intruders
A Paranormal Thriller.
The paranormal aspect was shown throughout the title sequence through the grey colours and the specific images used, an example of this is the child's face cracking to show a mans face with his eyes closed and a small amount of blood on his cheek this can be read into many ways. The child may represent the 'paranormal' side to it and they may have effected the man or the other way round as it showed the child breaking and blood on the man.
The dark and mysterious colouring is very intriguing especially when paired with the establishing shot of the foggy city and the stone angle image.
The music is suspenseful and aery which adds mystery to the whole series.
I like the specifically chosen images, especially the eye at the very beginning. The way it open's quickly and widely is very striking along side the cracking of the image it portrays a very hurtful and sad side to the program.

The Exorcist
A Horror
The opening titles to this film are very simple and give no clues away to the film. Warner Brothers have made their logo in black and white to link in with the theme of horrors being dark and scary. We fist see a house and a single light leave a window but nothing else, this gives me as a viewer the feeling that something is happening in the house for it to be focused on in the opening of a film but then again it may be a red herring. There is then a panning motion onto the street all seem normal there, I feel like this is to show that it literally is a normal neighbourhood.
The image of Virgin Mary that is then faded into has connotations of innocence and youth portraying that the film may be centred around or involve a young child.
Throughout the sequence we have a low mysterious tone that then gets louder as the sequence progresses, once the Virgin Mary fades out and we see the name of the film and the film company there is a high pitch, almost violin like sound which is very suspenseful and creepy.

The Maze Runner
It is clear from these opening titles that the film will be about a maze, this is shown as we follow a paths journey. The moving path is a very good effect on the sequence as it drawn our attention around the screen. The colours in this are very plain, very stoney colours which portrays the rock walls of of the maze.
I like how we get to see each of the main characters in the title sequence, this gets the ball rolling and helps up start to presume what the characters are going to be like.

Each of these openings have quite a similar style, all have quite a dark/ plain colour scheme and only show what it needed, some things shown may give clues like the maze we follow in The Maze Runner and the vigin Mary coll we see in The Exorcist.
