Title research (The Black Phone)

  Welcome back. The movie 'The Black Phone', is about a boy who got abducted. In the opening sequence of this movie, there are titles displayed throughout. The titles that are being displayed is the studio and the company, the production company, the title of the movie, all of the actors names appearing one by one on the screen, casting by, music by, co-producers, costume designer, editor, production designer, director of photography, executive producers, producer, screenplay by, directed by, and then that is the end of the opening sequence. There are many prioritized images in this opening sequence being highways, cars, and children running around. I believe that these images were displayed because of the point of this story being a boy being abducted in a van so showing these highways and other cars and children in the opening sequence adds to the suspense of the abduction and is building up the key components to an abduction. The connotations of these images are negative in a sense something bad is going to happen and there is a suspenseful mood in the opening sequence of this film.
