Opening Sequence - Saw

SAW The SAW opening sequence starts off with the production companies and ends on the film title. the font used for the title sequence gives a "watery" feel to the film, this is confirmed when the first shot is under water. after the production companies are displayed, no sound is played untill the titles are gone. this is a good effect that we could use in our own film as it adds suspense to the film because the viewer is unclear on what is going on and is waiting for some action to happen. The first sound that grabs the viewers attention is of the man almost drowning.

in the first scene there is very little lighting, and is trying to show the viewer that the room is close to pitch black.  after a short conversation with an unknown person the lights are turned on. a 'drowsy' effect is used as we are shown from the pov of the character we may be able to use this just after our victim has been attacked.
