The film starts off with the production companies name accompanied by non-diagetic music from an electric guitar. It is important to have your productioncompanies name in opening credits so that the production company can becredited for their input towards the production and distribution of your film.Also it acts as advertising for the production company itself.

The non diagetic music from an electric guitar is not typical of a film from a

teen horror genre so this can throw an audiences expectations of a teenhorror off task and allow their imaginations of what the film could possible beabout to flow more freely.

The blacked out screen and non diagetic music also force the audience toimagine how the film could possibly start as there is no actual image on screen

yet. The centered white title stands out amongst the black background andcauses this to be the audiences main focal oint.

Actors names in credits areimportant so that the audiencecan recognize who acted in thefilm and also so actors can becredited for their part in thefilm.

Again these particular creditsdepict the idea of flyingbecause of the pace the titlesappear on screen.

During all of this diageticsounds from the ocean can beheard which effectivelysoothes the audience and

causes them to be completelyvulnerable to what couldhappen next, as it is a horrorthis is the perfect setting forsomething horrific to happen.

The mise en scene of the sunin the far right of the screengrap adds to the soothing

effect and connotes this ideaof everything being clm.

Not having the title in the centreallows the audience to focus moreon the mise en scene whicheffectively causes them to feelmore comfortable and soothed bythe calming mise en scene andsoothing sounds of the sea.
