The opening title sequence of "The Reaping" features a continuous jazz soundtrack throughout quick cuts of extreme close-ups of small animals and insects, some of which are dying or twitching. The credits are displayed in sync with the music and changing images, floating around jaggedly to add to the messy atmosphere. Blood splatters are also seen at the start and occasionally throughout, hinting at death and something sinister, relating to the insect imagery which often represents decomposition.

1. The Reaping
The opening title sequence to “The Reaping” has one continuous soundtrack
throughout of which influence the timing of cuts to various extreme close ups
of objects that you can’t easily make out, although the music is quite jazzy and
relaxed the images move quite chaotically at some points, still vaguely in
keeping with the beat of the music, the images seem to all be of living (or
dying) things, and mainly all small animals, such as a insects and one shot of a
frogs leg twitching
The titles of the people involved in the production of the film are displayed
throughout, also in sync with the music and changing images, they float around
in a jagged fashion, adding to the messy atmosphere of the title sequence.
The Film Title is
displayed in a similar
way; however it is not
shown in front of an
image and lasts much
longer.
At the very start of the intro and at
some points throughout blood splatters
can be seen, hinting towards death and
a more sinister idea, similar to the
whole insect theme as insects are often
associated with decomposition and
dirtiness.
