De-constructing of 'The Killers' O.T.S

To really get a feel of what me and my group want to create ourselves, we have to see how other people do it.
I have de-constructed the O.T.S from The Killers. I have listed what is conventional and what is unconventional about this opening title sequence.


Conventional:
- Fades in at the start to show 2 people in a car driving a long.
- There is an establishing shot which shows exactly where they are 'Brentwood'.
- There is non-diegetic music to create an alarming theme. Brass instruments were used to create that power.
- Titles and credits come in within 30 seconds.

Unconventional:
- Enigma has not been established.
- No speech up until 1.33. Most likely to create an 'eerie' feel as there is some non-diegetic music played quietly throughout the O.T.S
- Hook; Who are those men and why are they there?
