Mise En Scene
1) The images flashed behind the opening credits seem to have a theme of classification and secrecy as they look like notes from government files. This is to give the audience a clue as to the general idea of the film
2) At one point behind the actual credits, the picture of a star graph flashes up. This is to reveal yet another aspect of the theme of the film to the audience. Namely that space is involved somewhere. It also conjures up images of the whole Area 51 theme as the star graph combined with the secretive documents make for a solid theme.
Sound
1) The music is almost that of a spy film and is at a very quick pace, this could be there to introduce the idea of panic to the audience.
2) The music is mingled in with SFX that are very hard to identify. But given the theme of the titles before the SFX kick in it does imply spacecraft to the audience.
Editing
1) The actual credits themselves dont have any breaks in between being displayed, they simply just flash from one to the other. This is used to hurry the audience slightly as they have to be quick to read the titles as they come, which could be in line with the theme of secrecy.
2) The font of the credits is that of a typewriter, which given the already established theme of secrecy is fitting as it looks as though the credits are actually within the classified documents
