'Insidious'

This figure of an old lady get zoomed into before the shot fades to black and cuts to the main title.
This shot hints to the audience that she will be a main part of the story and is an important character. This figure might also suggest the supernatural theme that is shown in the movie and through the credits.

When the main title appears the music peaks in loudness and pitch which could make the audience even more tense. The light that illuminates the title almost appears to be flickering making it look like a candle light. This could also create suspense the audience might be feeling. The title almost jumps on the screen in a fast pace and cuts off quickly as well. I think this is done to make the impact of the title more intense.

All of the titles have been written in a bright red font which is very eye catching. The titles fade in and out with the images behind them. The titles are placed on top of black and white images of a house which sets the mood for a supernatural horror movie, it also makes the movie feel dated and puts it into a different time era.
