The opening sequence is
successful when attempting to entice the viewer. It gives little away when showing those who are displayed in the movie. The opening sequence shows old fashioned
tapes and microphones.
In between shots, flashes of dead
bodies and gore are displayed. However, the cuts are not long enough so the
viewer is not able to get a clear view of what is actually being shown. The
images go past too quickly for the viewer to recognise. The music is extremely
enticing which allows for the viewer to question what is going on, and possible
scenarios. The use of sharp cuts leaves the viewer with an uneasy feeling about
the current situation which can also cause unexpected nerves. The eerie piano
music is fitting for the show and it is able to set up the following scene as
the viewer is constantly curious about the next event to occur.
The dietetic sound of the 1970's recording hardware follows the linear story line resulting in knowledgeable viewers to be able to successfully understand what the tape set is used for and scenarios where it is used.
The flashing images of corpses are made known and can be identified as soon as they are shown. However, the flashing images are infrequent and do not follow a specific structure of when they are shown. This makes the opening credits much more questionable as not everything is obvious to the reader. It has potential to confuse viewers as the scene contains an old out-dated tape recorder, which looks new and modern, however, today, it is old and no longer has a functional use which is able to be done better by a seperate machine.
