The main title for the shining is very simple which is also the same throughout the rest of the titles. The font is very big and clear which makes it readable to the audience. The titles 'fly' up the screen from bottom to top quite quickly which allows the viewers to concentrate on the moving animation. This is the main title for the changeling. The font is very simple once again like the Shining. The titles fade into the screen then fade out shortly after.
The rest of the titles are are the same once again but are shown over a different background.
The shining music is non-diegetic and is very loud and low which can be portrayed as scary which contradicts the moving animation of a natural peaceful environment.

The music from the changeling is very different because there is only diegetic sounds of the wind and car movements which allows the dialogue to be heard more.

In the Shining there are no characters only those who are not visible in the car. This leaves the story a mystery to the viewers. However in The changeling there are three main characters seen but during the title sequence these characters die so therefore become unknown in the film. The two characters that die are a mother and child who are dressed for their winter holiday.
The mise en scene is very simple in the shining as it only consists of a few cars as props. Its set in a mountaionus,snowy and forest area situated near a large hotel. The lighting is natural.
The changeling is slightly more complicated as there are many props including hats, scarves, phone box, cars, luggage and just things that make the story look believable. The lighting is also natural as its set outside. Just like the Shining, the Changeling is set in a snowy area near a forest.
In the shining the The music is used to create tension with the aerial shots used to give the sense of isolation and fear. Together they both create an enigma of confusion as you don't know what is going to happen in the clip.
