Title Research: Split

There were 22 titles in this opening. Images that signify what is occurring in the opening, for example, an extreme close up of the ceiling passing by then an extreme close up of a girl being pushed on what seems like a hospital bed, are prioritized. The thriller genre is reinforced by these clips because they show what is happening in the scene, but doesn't provide background information on why this event is happening, therefore creating an enigma. This creates a mysterious and suspenseful atmosphere which are elements of the thriller genre. The transitions used to go from one title to the next resembles security cameras, which can allude to the movie being about a stalker which also adds suspense. The slow tempo background music establishes an ominous environment early on in the film which attracts people who enjoy thrillers and horror films.
