This title sequence for the horror film "The Ring" uses hand-drawn text over changing creepy background images to introduce the credits. Throughout, the background images are blurred together and images of a girl appear in a grain effect. Advanced techniques like blur, sharpen, distortion, and rotation were applied to create an unsettling, scary atmosphere by distorting the whole sequence in line with horror movie conventions. While the sequence was produced at 1080p resolution, the intentional image distortion means the overall quality does not appear very high.
