The sound in an opening sequence has to grab your attention, weather the music is interesting and the genre appeals to the listener, or it is loud and grabs your attention, or the dialogue is meaningful and a part of the actual story of the movie.
Panic Room
There are ambient sounds of the city, like cars, people, the wind ect... to set the scene .
Then there are strings and the panning matches the sounds and it becomes quite dark because the notes are quite low in pitch and it sounds fairly minor.
The sound of the cymbal signifies change, this could be significant further on in the movie.
The music then speeds up and there is a sort of ticking sound in the background which could indicate how time is moving the background.
Finally there is a sound bridge right at the end of the title sequence going into the main dialogue at the end of the movie.
Reservoir Dogs
It starts with an overdubbed monologue.
Then it goes into a well known song with a funky bass line, the sound, sounds fairly happy and in a major key. it also sounds lively and has a nice vibe to match the facial expressions of the characters as they are smiling and laughing.
The music could be seen to be fairly 'cool' this could be what they are trying to represent in the character to the audience of how cool they are and they are wearing black sunglasses.
We can clearly see that the scene has been slowed down to match with the music.
some of the lyrics in the song could co-ordinate with the actions in the scene like there is a lyric 'take a drag' as they are smoking.
Again at the end of the sequence there is a sound-bridge going into the first bit of the movie.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
In this sequence the music is very important because it is used to emphasises the visuals and the effect of them, because they are dark images.
There are drums at the beginning then the Synths arrive and it all sounds dark, but lively at the same time as the pace of the visuals is quite fast and the cutting pace is fast to.
The music has some sort of scream in it this also goes with the visuals because you would be expecting someone to be screaming because some of the visual we can see trapped hands and this is quite gory.
