Own Research - Shutter Island

Shutter island title sequence still.

 Shutter Island...

I thought of carrying out my own research on a well know thriller film, Shutter Island. While watching the opening title sequence, I noticed that the fonts used were quite basic and bold, but still managed to make me want to watch on. The words fade out like they have just disappeared and you want to know where to. The genre of the film, which included the music used in the beginning sequence had an almost eery feel to it that linked in quite well with the music which was quite low and classical. It could also be described as sad but calming music. I could just make out what sounded to be a violin. Those seem to be used in quite spooky, mysterious films. No camera shots were used just words.  I think that even though it was quite basic, the music helped it to be more dramatic.
