I was unable to embed the actual opening titles of Hostage therefore I have placed this link so you will be able to follow through to the clip I have used to analyse.
These titles make the credits blend in with the opening scene. Animated and frozen with non diegetic tension mood music over the top, it creates a feeling of unknown as the audience is unaware of the action it is about to enter. As soon as the credits have finished, the film begins in the middle of an action sequence, as if to make the audience believe they have missed something at the beginning of the film.
I like this affect because it grabs the audience's attention straight away with the credits acting as a build up. The non diegetic music creates an uneasy mood to make the audience aware that it is not a safe situation.
