Opening Sequence to ''Night of the Living Dead''

The music is effective in the opening of this film, as it is eerie, and gradually builds up, and therefore effectively building up the tension of the scene. The length of time in which the camera films the car driving is quite long, which again builds up tension and the expectation that something is going to happen. The eerie music being played on top of quite a normal situation subtly suggests to the audience that something is wrong. Overall the most effective element to this particular opening is the use of music. From the opening of this film, it would be assumed that the age restrictions for this film wouldn't be very high, as the fear factor isn't high, and also there is no content in the opening that would be suited to an older age. The only effective element to the opening would be the eerie music, as it builds up tension and expectitation, and sets the desired tone.
