The main purpose of a title sequence is to build up the tension for the viewers, and it makes them want to stay and continue watching the film. Some opening title sequences may give viewers a hint into what is going to happen in the film.
During the opening, there is an establishing shot of the lake through the trees, with a spooky mist lingering around it. The camera then slowly moves into a Tracking shot, and follows a young woman running along what appears to be a footpath through a forest. At first, it appears that she is running away from someone/something, but as the camera shot continues to follow her, it sweeps around and shows her jumping over an obstacle. This then indicates that she is partaking in some kind of physical test. As the music builds, and gains in speed, the woman appears to be running faster, jumping more and more obstacles, and breathing more harshly. The Ochestral Music is part of the Non-Digetic sound in the opening title sequence.
The titles in the opening sequence are big, bold, and white of colour. the middle of all letters are slightly jagged in shape, which makes it look normal, but also shows that there is a twist as well. The letters look slightly distorted, and fade on/off the screen according to the music.
