This is the title sequence to the horror-thriller TV show American Horror Story: Asylum. Using a montage of faced paced shots with included titles, leaves the audience feeling on edge and discomforted. Repetition of narrative themes, such as shots of nuns, young children and fire, is also key to the success of this title sequence.
The title font is unique to the American Horror Story brand, and has been made to fit in with the genre/tone with the use of flashy, transitions in which the titles appear to dissolve as if an acid was poured onto them. This not only makes the audience question any significance to the narrative, but the fast paced dissolving transitions puts them on edge. White and yellow font colours are used to make the titles contrast highly with the shots and black backgrounds in order to draw attention to them.
The titles themselves are conventional; actors, distributors, producers and directors are given precedence with the most well know titles displayed earlier on in the sequence, such as Zachary Quinto.
