opening sequence ofWar Of The Worlds.

The first part of the sequence opens with eerie music this causes suspense and intrigue.

This frame has non diegetic music over it this creates a creepy tone also the frame shows unevolved, basic life forms.

In this shot the narrator starts to compare humanity to cells linking back to the earlier shots and saying the human race is as insignificant as the bacteria we saw before. He also compares the earth to a spec of water on a leaf

At this point the narrator is talking about how small we are in the universe this bird's eye view shot helps reinforce that by showing a city as really small and insignificant.

As the camera pulls out it shows light coming from behind the earth. This may foreshadow the arrival of aliens for the main sequence of the movie. This low lit suspense full shot is typical of a thriller. It lets the viewers imagination build up.

The title sequence has quite non diegetic sounds in a eerie tune. Also behind the title is the same bright light from before it flies towards the camera then cuts.
