House of Leaves: Title Sequence & Poster
—
A House that Inspires Insanity
Based on the book by Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves tells the unsettling story of a house whose interior is inexplicably larger than its exterior. The family living there discovers a dark, shifting labyrinth of endless rooms, becoming consumed by the obsession to uncover the truth behind the house’s impossible nature.
The design elements reflect this battle between light and dark, capturing the tension and fear as they search for answers within the house’s supernatural, ever-changing depths.
Searching for the Truth
The title sequence plays a crucial role in setting the tone for the movie while introducing key cast members. A central design element is the glitch effect, which not only reflects the found footage style of the film but also symbolizes the house’s eerie ability to morph in unpredictable ways. A cold light initially illuminates key aspects, but as the sequence progresses, darkness gradually begins to overpower, reflecting the creeping terror and mystery of the house.
