Usually the title sequence is the first thing your audience sees on-screen that introduces them to the story, which means that is has to capture its tone and prepare your viewers for what is about to unfold. It also introduces the cast and crew, who produced it etc. It is the film equivalent of a book cover. Usually using an undertone of sinister music. Well known for the low bass notes and high vocal notes so the two contrast.

Music
At the beginning, gentle music is usually used after the title sequence to give a normal feeling to the film as most psychological thrillers start of with a normal character with an everyday life. Throughout the film sinister music is used, such as high tension or eerie music. Or silence is used so the audience becomes tense
