The opening sequence starts off with a eerie wind like howling sound and from this you can immediately recognise the genre of the movie-Horror. The camera zooms out revealing the Universal logo. By displaying this logo the audience will be looking forward to watch the film as they are a successful production company and is also part of the big 6. The next title is revealed and the camera is following a black crow, this is typical for horror movies as crows are associated with death. Followed by this is the Blumhouse Productions title and this is shown with a chair floating in the air which gives it a supernatural element. The colour black is quite prominent and this connotes mystery and fear.
When the title of the movie "The Visit" appears there is non-diegetic olden style music playing. The colours used are red and black. Red usually connotes danger and blood which could foreshadow that something bad may happen on the children's visit to their grandparents. The music is then followed by the same howling sound from the beginning. The titles then fade in and out as the movie goes on to show the main characters. Immediately you can recognise who will be the centre of the film, the children. This is typical and conventional of horror movies as children are usually the victims as they are naïve and innocent. The titles are accompanied by diegetic sound of the train moving and screeching.
