Title Research: The Final Destination (2009)

 The Final destination's opening sequence provides a different twist in the order in which titles are shown in the opening sequence of the film. The film's opening sequence begins by introducing the title of the film rather than having it put towards the end. They then go through a series of various animations to display the studios, directors, supervisors, and film companies. The titles are written in a bold white font to stand out from the darkish green background and the names are separated using thick white lines.

The film's opening sequence presents some unsettling images throughout the opening sequence. These images include x-rays of skulls being sliced in half, with their teeth or jaws busted or split open. They also show bright ropes of barbed wire and string strangling the x-rays. They also emphasize an ambulance blowing up alongside a bunch of tools floating in the background.

The film does the best at setting the thriller genre with its opening sequence compared to the other films I've researched until now. They do this with the highly unsettling images displayed in the film and the extremely tense music played throughout all of these disturbing scenes. The odd color scheme also creates a sense of panic in the viewer further establishing the thriller genre.
