Title Research: Two Eyes Staring

I am watching a title sequence from the website Watch The Titles. The movie is called Two Eyes Staring. The title sequence of this movie begins with a name, and a weird shaped shadow object on the screen. Inside of the shadow looking objects it shows pages with writing on them. In the background, there is eerie, yet calm, music playing. There are no words in the music. There are 14 titles displayed in the opening sequence. There are 14 images prioritized in the opening sequence. The images seem innocent, yet creepy at the same time. The genre is reinforced by the sequence showing eerie images inside of a weird unidentifiable shape. This adds to the mystery aspect of horror films. The film establishes an enigma by showing short, seemingly random, clips from the movie. This clips are shown inside of a shadow-shape. The shape is not an identifiable shape, so it creates mystery. The opening sequence uses strategies like suspense and mystery to keep the viewer interested and wanting more. The clips shown in the opening sequence seem kind of random, which makes the audience want to know what happens in the movie to better understand the clips in the beginning. Technology has been used effectively in this opening sequence by showing only a few seconds of each clip. The quick preview of the scenes adds suspense, a key detail in horror movies.
