CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
This opening sequence is made up of non-diagetic sounds which includes an orchestra. The pace starts off slow, and builds up throughout the sequence to a much faster pace. This is used to build suspence and tension, which accompanies the visuals. The title, which is stated at the end, is almost 'chased' by the sound, giving the audience a clear idea of how the film is going to be portrayed. The visuals match the sound because the visuals are a cartoon, and the audio is not particularly serious.
SURFACE
This sequence was produced by students, but it still follows the conventions of a thriller opening sequence, especially the sound element. It is made up of both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, such as the soundtrack as well as gasps and screaming from the characters. The sequence starts with a low toned sound, which is carried on throughout the sequence, and different sounds are added to give the mysterious effect.
SE7EN
This opening sequence has both diegetic sounds, such as scissors running along paper and film reels, and non-diegetic sounds. It has a defined rhythm which sometimes fragments to create a psychotic atmosphere. The visuals fit the sound because they are constantly shifting and changing. This helps with the psychotic atmosphere as the shifting in visual and sound could represent the mans mind, showing that he is insane.
