The title of the film 'DEAD CALM' appeared very big in capital letters, bold and in red on a black background and so it made it stand out which was good because it is very eye catching. Also, the use of the colour red for the title, I think was a hint to show that this film will involve BLOOD - DEATH. The editor, costume designer, producers etc, are all written in big and bold capital letters. The colour of the writing is white on black background so it is clear to read/see. The way the titles fade in and out make it mysterious, it gives you this FEEL of danger..

The sound effect during the title sequence was rather calm but with a glimpse of evilness. This then tends to get the audience to keep watching and wonder what will happen next..
