Orphan opening sequence


The opening sequence of orphan starts with a dull and unlife like image of the ‘Warner brother picture’ and ‘Dark Castle’ production companies logo the images then quickly flickers back and forth from the dull image to a bright florescent neon splash of colours. The sound during this is incidental as the colour changes from dull to neon there is a quick sound of clicking and scratching. The sequence then changes though fades to black, the picture then reapers to a scratchier, more sinister font there is then violent artwork shown of what appears to be children, books, families etc. similar to how the production companies were represented the picture goes from dull to  being surrounded by fluorescent paint. This effect also occurs with many of the names shown in the end title sequence. When the pictures come into view the sound starts to quicken and picks up a menacing tone which makes the audience feel nervous, tense and anxious. Each shot uses a fading transaction to get to the next one this is effective as it focuses upon a spot in the title sequence as well as making the audience feel on edge. Once the credits finished the title ‘Orphan’ comes into view using the same effect of the neon paint.
