Opening Sequence Research - The Flight Plan

This opening sequence uses a lot of symbols in the media language. Regarding text, it brings titles on screen using the train passing; initially by using the fast train as a scrambling transition to bring them on and transition from the train into an alpha channel text. This gives an enigmatic feel which represents the thriller genre.

We then see a lone woman in a train station which immediately poses questions like, 'Why is there an empty train station?'. This is followed by a limited view of the plot where an casket is discussed in a foreign language. The casket poses questions alongside the mystery of the country the setting is in. The plot shows a vision of present and past time using colour correction as darker in the past. This presents the audience with a curiosity which provokes them the desire to watch more.
