This opening has quite generic conventions within the horror genre. The idea behind it is to create mystery and a plot base to captivate the audience and to set up the rest of the film.
One of the ways it creates this mystery is by having relatively short cutting rates (most being around 7 seconds). This gives the aundience brief teasers of a murder location without revealing too much.
The narration at the beginning stating it was 'based' on a true story is common (and usually untrue) in horror films to entice the viewer.
70% of the shots were of the opening credits and the houses where nothing was revealed at all. This was purely to build suspense and set the theme of the film (of murders in 'normal' neighbourhoods).
I can't see it either. I've tried multiple things to try and resolve the issue however nothing seems to be working from home. I'll try editing the photo from school.
