Thriller opening titles

SAW I
.black background, blue writing
.blue light goes over mans face, this shows him to be underwater
.title appears "SAW" writing moves like water, carrying on the effect
.when man opens eye's a thunder of music occurs
.as the water goes down drain (close up of plug) man throws himself out of the tub to reveal scummy off white tiles, rusty taps and a rusty bath
.very dark (grim) lighting
.shows blue light go down plug hole
.when falls on floor, its covered in grime and rust
.intense bleak music
.as camera follows man, you can see a toilet, room established as bathroom
.after hearing a noise man calls out to room, camera stays on him, so audience is in suspense or "in the dark" like the character
.When man 1 says something and man 2 replies (in a gruff voice) camera continues to stay on man 1
.man 1 is panicked man 2 is more calm (knows more than man 1)
.man 2 (i found something" camera goes up to strip lights turning on as it moves back it cuts between man 1 shielding his eyes. it cuts back and forth
.man 1's reaction, eyes closed
. when eyes focus, you see it through his eyes. blurry going into focus.
.when he gets focused looks ahead to the left
.camera is then on man 2. he is pale with a graze on his cheek. He's wearing a sweat soaked shirt.
.cuts to his point of view (through his eyes) you see most of room and the man 1 (in blur, because light)
.this makes you feel like your in characters position (classic thriller)
.camera moves down showing man covered in blood.
.sharp intense music goes with emotion.
.camera spins out (as if from shock)
