Analysis of sound in thriller opening sequences

'Catch me if you can'
* This opening sequence had a diegetic sound track to it.
* The sound track started off with a very slow tempo, and with a quite volume. The tempo then increased and a strong beat was introduced into the music. This made the music louder as the title sequence went on.  

* The music was in sync with the on screen action, when the text come on screen the music beat was in time with it this continued as the title sequence rolled on.

'Vertigo sound'

* The music to this opening was deep and scary sounding, it gave the impression that something big was about to happen and made you feel as if you were about to jump.
* The music had a fast tempo to it which flowed well with the action on screen.
* Much like 'Catch me if you can' the music was in sync with the titles and matched the action very well.

'Face off'
* This opening sequence had an orchestral sound track to it, which gave the feeling of tension between characters and felt quite epic. 
* The music also had a repetitive tempo to it, this made the view concentrate on the onscreen action rather than been distracted but the music.
*Mystical music
