The opening titles and credits do not begin until the viewers have been introduced to the setting, an Orphanage. The titles start at least three minutes into the opening of the film.
The tiles and credits begin on a significant phrase "got you" and then fades to black. The phrase "got you" is used at the end of a game the Orphans are playing. The phrase could be important for future reference in the film as it suggests that maybe the film is about some sort of game or that there is something/someone after another.
Titles
The titles are shown by wallpaper being ripped off walls and revealing these credits. The wallpaper is ripped of by what appears to be children's hands. The children's hands looked cold and lifeless which could have meaning in the film. The arms are dressed in the same clothing as the Orphans at the beginning of the film. The children Frantically rip the paper off the walls which could mean that they are in some sort of distress. The wallpaper is old and out dated. This is shown by having it black and white. Because the front paper is black and white and the paper behind with the credits on is brighter and is in colour, it suggests that what we saw is the past and the film is going to be in the present. The first tearing of the wallpaper was done really slowing to build tension and create suspense. The last piece of paper to be torn off is the main title "El Orphanato" (The Orphanage). At this title we see all of the children's hands frantically trying to grab hold of the paper and then rapidly ripping the paper off to reveal the title.
Sound
The first Credit to be shown is straight after the change from moving image the wallpaper. The music begins as the child's hand slowly reveals the credit. The music at this point is eerie and it also creates suspense. The use of violins in this scene and others like it is affective as it is an unnerving sound that sends chills down peoples spines. The Foley sound would be the tearing of the paper. Because this first credit was done slowly we hear the sound of it ripping very clearly and the sound is affective as it draws us to the edge of our seats to find out whats under the torn paper.
Editing
The footage of the title and credits switches to an animated version of the wall and the camera showing cracks in the wall at a close up shot. By doing this it adds more variety to the scene and it therefore becomes more interesting to the viewer.
