Title research: a quiet place

A quiet place is a popular movie about a family that must survive a world where they're being hunted by creatures that hunt by sound. Even a single whisper or footstep can bring death to the family. They try to find a way to fight back. The reason I wanted to make a blog on this movie is because it didnt even have titles. However, they still got the tone through the setting and lack of sound. The images show a post apocalyptic town and a family in a pharmacy. This shows that something must've happened to the town for a family to go through a pharmacy to get medicines. The lack of sound adds a creepy mysterious tone because in an apocalypse, I would really be that quiet unless there is a force forcing to be this quiet. Some angles angles and switches from diegenic and non diegenic sound makes the opening scene better. The low angle of the family walking out of the store and the newspaper flapping in the wind saying to stay inside because of the creatures with sound, gave a good explanation to the movie. Also when the family walked over the bridge and the kid made noise with the plane, you can hear the transition from non diegenic music, silence and the non diegenic plane sound, to the diegenic footsteps. This is a very good opening eventhough there wasn't a title sequence.
