How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film?
- First, the film shows Universal Studios, then Blumhouse Productions, and lastly OC Entertainment in the opening sequences to the film. Then after the movie had started with an opening scene, the names of the directors and leading actors were shown along with the title of the movie, ‘Get Out’.
- Throughout the opening sequence when the titles are presented, there are scary images and scenes that are shown. Behind the Blumhouse Productions title, a creepy room is shown where a chair is floating and a man is breathing frantically as if he is scared of this haunted room that also has a possessed child in it.
- The images carry mysterious and scary connotations that imply that the movie will be full of frightening suspense.
- The outset of a movie heavily reinforces the genre of the movie, as a man is walking alone in a neighborhood in the night when a mysterious car pulls up to him and continues to follow him through the neighborhood until the driver comes out and puts a bag over the walking mans head and kidnaps him.
- The film establishes an enigma by jumping right into a scene where there is a character and setting that is new to the viewer, and the reason for the man being in this neighborhood is a mystery, as well as him being kidnapped is a mystery to the audience.
- The film possesses intense and scary orchestra music that adds to the suspense of the opening scenes, as well as a mysterious plot from the very beginning of the movie that adds suspense as the audience already wants to know what happens next and what the reason for the kidnapping was.
- Technology was used very effectively by using close up shots to first show the character and also long shots which established the setting that he was in. The transitions were also very clear and slick, for example a shot of the car being parked transitioned into a shot of the man who was driving the car sneaking up behind the man walking and then kidnapping the man.
