This is the title sequence for Panic Room, which is a thriller movie about a mother and daughter who are forced to take refuge in the panic room of their new home. The narrative takes place in a developed city which links with the title sequence in which the text is angled in such a way that it appears to be as if it the text is affixed to the tall city buildings.
Typical branding of the distribution and production companies are presented immediately, followed by actors, who are conventionally presented in order of publicity, next is the film title itself, which is displayed very boldly, in capital letters, alongside the music score it gives dominance to the idea of a panic room and connotes a sense of something unsettling that surrounds the narrative. Finally, we are then presented with the less well-known actors, the casting manager, costume designer, music producer, editors, director of photography... etc. It is conventional among most films to leave the less recognised titles until last.
A sense of journey is created in this title sequence when it smoothly transitions the audience from the establishing shots of the tall cityscape, to a small park where a character of importance is introduced.
