Thriller Opening Credits - 'The Number 23'


In the opening credits to film 'The Number 23' the camera focuses on paper with the credits written in a typewriters font. The camera scrolls up and down the page very slowly making it seem very mysterious. The camera also cut very jaggeredly to close up of names making it uncomfortable for the audience. The number 23 is also shown next to each name suggesting along with the title of the film that the number will have a lot to play in the course of the film. On a very blank page the scene slowly introduces the viewer to blotches of blood slowly flowing onto the page, which suggests murder and the possiblity of the blood being related to the number. The sound of the opening credits builds tension with the bassline of the soundtrack getting slowly faster to the point where the blood is introduced and again slows down. This is then repeated again but with the music temp this time getting faster and louder, bringing the audience up in tension until it slows down suddenly to start the begining of the film.
