Scream title sequence analysis

the opening to this movie is infamous, the title sequence and the immediate effect it has upon the audience has alot to do with this. the non diegetic sound is heightened very much so at the start of the title sequence, with the first sound we hear being the distant yet deep and gloomy sound of a church bell clanging, then we hear a piercing and horrifying scream of a young girl, a phone ringing and an erratic heart beat and the heightened sound of violently slicing knives. the white scream writing springing down onto the black background, flashing quickly of off the screen and then returning in a red stained colour, creates a very sinister within the titles creating a correct atmosphere for the rest of the film, and displaying the definite possibility of impending doom. the opening sequence is very effective in building up tension and fear within the audience, an affect i would like to convey in my own title sequence.
