We can see that a lot of CGI techniques has been used to create the best possible. The sound also had an great impact. The fast phased music in the background was very thrilling as it changed when the 3D objects showed action such as the glass shattering sound was overlapped as well as the sound of gun shots.

ARLINGTON ROADTitle Sequence ofArlington Road is a film directed by Mark Pellington in 1999. The sequence starts of with a handheld camera being pointed at a man walking in a hospital. Its a low angle view combined with the shaking camera effect that makes it look impressive. It feels almost as if we were in it as well. This sequence end with a slight zoom in of the characters but at the same low angle. This footage in the sequence lasts for about 18 seconds. The rest of the of the sequence is mainly based on montage shots and images with the text over it. Key points on the title sequence is that it plays it dark colours, negative colours. It has dreary music which makes it a mystery.
It has a montage shot of a Dalmatian dog chewing on a bone. A negative colour scheme is added to it to make it extra thrilling. The whole title sequence is supposed to look distorted. The shots are filmed using a handheld camera so that we can get as close as possible to the objects that are shown. There are many close ups of the objects used in the film that then change into a negative colours. Most of the time the sequence looks like old footage with colour present for a while and the gone again. The text also appears in a way so that it looks distorted. The colour red is what has been used most of the time, it shows an object in the normal colour and then changes it to red. There is often footage showing the top of a fence, this may have an importance in the film later on and it work well with the title Arlington Road.
