I chose to analyse "Arlington Road," this wasn't my favourite title sequence but there was more technical elements to comment about. Arlington Road made in 1999 directed by Mark Pellington and written by Ehren Kruger. The film is about a college Professor called Michael Faraday, who suspects his neighbours of terrorism and is obsessed with their attempts of terror attacks.

Mise en scene- The tile sequences was shot in a domestic home type of setting; on a suburban road. The houses were semi-detached. And because of the special effects, it wasn't clear to see if the house was a newly built or a old house. This would have set the scene better if this was clear.

Music and Sound- The soundtrack over took the title sequence; it was loud, shocking and distorted. The soundtrack sounded demonic and alienist, there was a use of dialogue in the music to make it sound more sinister. This made the title sequence gripping and some what scary.

Lighting- The lighting was different colours, which made the viewing look blurry and poorly filmed. This made unappealing for me to watch because i would assume the film would have elements of this in it throw about.

Camera- Most of the shots from the camera was shaky ones. Though there were close up on the people int the title sequence. Also there were low shots when the camera was placed neat the grass. This was to make the house look even bigger.
Editing- Fast blurred cuts, to show the images were moving at the beat of the music. Jump cuts were used to make the title sequence transitions move faster. This technique contrasted with the light and made short clip difficult to watch for me. This was because too much things were happening at once.

Special Features- The whole of the sequence was shot in a negative type of effect. There was use of inverted colours to make the setting seem weird and most of all to give the sense of a thrill. It makes the viewer what to aspect next when watching it. The colours were also filtered this made it seem mess and jumpy.
