The Orphan opening sequence.

The opening sequence for The Orphan is very simple yet very effective. The production and distribution company logo's have been personalized to fit in with the film. By this I mean that each shot of the different companies flickers between ultraviolet and normal, there is splatters and strange drawings revealed in the ultraviolet light, this is to incorporate things that happen later on in the film and to play on the minds of the audience so they will have ideas flowing through their minds about what could happen later on.

The sound throughout the sequence is disturbing and strange, it is incidental and the sound changes as the pictures cut between ultraviolet and normal. When the picture turns ultraviolet the sound becomes slightly louder and is more high pitched and scratchy. This is to make the audience feel anxious and build the atmosphere. The transitions between the shots are fades to black and this could make the audience feel nervous of what is about to appear on the screen.Finally the title appears with a black background as it is the whole way through, it is a plain white font and it flickers with the ultraviolet light and we see a hand print and various other splatters. It is shocking and frightening for the audience to watch and it sets them up perfectly for the rest of the movie.
