The opening to Rosemary's Baby (Polanski, 1968) is a film opening I watched in class. The opening sequence is tracking shots of buildings in a specific location of the film. It uses pink decorative font for the titles, which is where I got the inspiration for my titles and has very sinister music.
The music is actually what attracted me to create a supernatural thriller for my opening and I wanted to use music similar to the music used in this opening. The music is of a woman singing in a lullaby mannor, with slow/gentle but creepy instruments underneath the vocals.
Plot summary from IMDB
Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse move into an apartment in a building with a bad reputation. They discover that their neighbours are a very friendly elderly couple named Roman and Minnie Castevet, and Guy begins to spend a lot of time with them. Strange things start to happen: a woman Rosemary meets in the washroom dies a mysterious death, Rosemary has strange dreams and hears strange noises and Guy becomes remote and distant. Then Rosemary falls pregnant and begins to suspect that her neighbours have special plans for her child.
