In order to gain some more ideas for my Thriller/Horror title sequence, I have done some research. Contrasting with title sequences as "Snatch" and "Seven", which convey the audience what the movie will be about and introduce the main characters as in "Snatch", the sequence in "Panic Room" does not reveal anything about the context of the movie. We are only showed the setting of the film, which is New York (the whole sequence contains extreme long shots of skyscrapers), the title of the movie, names of the lead actors, editors and producers. The music is the only signifier that conveys the audience that the movie is going to be a thriller because it is rather mysterious, dramatic and tensive. In the following link you can watch the sequence on youtube:
In addition, while watching different title sequences, I have found out that Soul Bass who is an American graphic designer and worked for some of the best filmmakers as Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese. He is the creater of the title sequence of "Psycho" and "The Man With The Golden Arm". He has influenced the next generation graphic designers who has used his ideas in order to create new innovative techniques, but based on his methods. Kyle Cooper's work is often compared to Bass'. He created the title sequences for "Seven", "Spiderman 2", "Across The Universe" and more.
