RICHARD MORRISON

Creep is one of the 150 title sequences created by Richard Morrison. At the beginning of the film before the visuals are shown, there is a  screechy distorted sound  and a very bright yellow color is shown. It zooms into a visually  blurred scene and this creates a disturbing atmosphere in the audience.
This shows that the film will be associated with disturbing images and mentally disturbing characters because of the unstable visuals. This opening sequence is like a perspective of a character on the film, disoriented and unsettling.

The iconography in the scenes helps the audiences identify the sub-genre and helps the foreshadow what is going to happen in the film and what to expect in certain scenes in the film. The scene that zooms into the knife witch blood stains and the knife is on a table like a surgical table but it is not the typical surgical equipment so this creates enigma for the audience as to why these dangerous equipment like knife is on a surgical table. This scene foreshadows what will result in the use of the knife, but on who?
the camera then zooms onto a blood stain and the audience can see  that the blood is coming from the knife and this creates enigma as to what the knife was used for and the audience will at this point believe that the knife was not used on an animal because  of the music and the unstable visual.

The typography was written in a scratch will indicate how the characters will try to escape. The way the light goes through all the titles suggests to the audience that no one will survive.There are short scenes of a woman being tortured and blood stains on her towards the end of the sequence. the woman is in pain and a shadowed character uses the knife and bloody equipment shown at the beginning of the sequence on her and the makes to audience pity her and this suggest to the audience that  the characters will be torture and this also make them wonder the significance of a woman in the film. As the woman tries to escape she is caught and this suggest to the audience that the villan is mentally unstable and psychically strong and that the characters might not have a fair chance against him.

The name "CREEP"   at the end of the sequence and the light that went across it was like a flash light suggest to the audience that the victims in the film will be searched for but may not be found. This alos suggest to the audience that the creep may not be found.
The title sequence creates tension before the actual film starts and it introduces the themes of the film.
