Editing
The Unjustified Cut jumps from the ink dispersing on the writing to the girl combing another girls hair. This is suggestive of not only a disjointed relationship as the writing isnt fully visible which could imply a lack of communication but a disjointed plot. The Non-Continuity editing of the merging of the spreading ink on the paper could be interpreted as a combination of reality and the supernatural.

Editing
The use of the inkblots (Psychological technique known as the Rorsach test)as a superimposition throughout the opening sequence is evident of impending mental suffering and some sort of emotional or repressed conflict that requires therapy .

The superimposition of the inkblot over the picture shows what could either be an X-Ray or an Ultrasound. However, this appears to be a demonic figure instead of a foetus as a result of the inkblot skewing the view. This could allude to an evil or sinister entity being born.

Editing
The long take of what could be music box is the longest shot of the opening sequence, which changes the audiences perception of the scene by drawing their attention. The rigid movements of the ballerina figures are in a disjointed supernatural movement and is unlike those of a human. Ballet has childhood connotations and is typically associated with girls, despite this the movements are not graceful or fluid like that expected of ballet and are not only disturbing but disconcerting.

As here, the figures appear conjoined, perhaps foreshadowing a separation as this is an unnatural image.

Sound
The Non diegetic music which is classical music at the beginning of the clip juxtaposes with the images shown throughout the clip which gives contrast between the good and the evil shown through the music as the good and the images as the evil. (contrapuntal music) String instruments give the image of the romantic form. This imagery could symbolise that there is some kind of relationship which will be developed throughout the film. The legato of certain notes shows that some problems during the film have been there for a while which contrasts with the staccato notes which we could interpret as dangerous events getting closer.

Sound
The volume of the stringed instruments also differed at certain points, this is effective because it builds tension and foreshadows dangerous events to come during the film. The high pitched xylophone has childlike imagery, this shows an innocence which is conveyed through the opening credits. This contrasts with the eerie violins, this therefore could dhow that children are in danger during this film. The cellos and double basses in the background are deeply pitched, they give the sense of an ever looming doom for the characters within the film. More stringed instruments gradually build creating tension then suddenly stop to reveal one violin. This could symbolise a key event in the film, showing us that there is a gradual build up.

Sound
As the music slows down at the end of the opening credits it could signify that the events throughout the film have come to an end and have come to some sort of resolution. The big contrast in pitch during the opening credits may symbolise a variety of emotions, from calm to terrified. The variety of emotions delivered throughout the clip gives the sense of a horror because it becomes almost erratic which can be seen in a person who is scared or affected by disturbing events.
