00.02 seconds - The beginning of the opening titles start with the names of two actors in the film written in a bold white font which make them stand out. Since these are the first titles to appear, Theo James and Will Young probably play the main characters. The man is sat in a dark room with very low lighting, creating a lonely and creepy atmosphere. There appears to be a small bed in the corner of the room with a lack of facilities, and the whole room looks very run down, almost like a prison cell.
00.07 seconds - Another low-lit room is shown, this again creates a dark and eery atmosphere and a sense of unknowing. The room is very mysterious as it is difficult to know what it's actually for or what is going on, and the tense non-diegetic music at this point is also creating suspense.
00.08 - is next scene of titles is another puzzling one because it is again unclear what is happening. It has suddenly changed to a lighter room with a man sat very still at a desk in a messy room. There appears to be papers all over the floor and fire balls falling, creating a tense or angry atmosphere and leaving the audience with a lot of questions.
00.13 seconds - Another dark and tense atmosphere when we see a woman who appears to look unsettled. She seems scared or troubled as she turns around whilst making her way down the corridor.
00.17 seconds - This scene shows a big change again as we see two more characters clearly in a sexual scene as they are in a bedroom and the male is shirtless. They then move in to kiss as the titles roll and disappear, showing diversity of all the different characters in the film and their image.
00.19 seconds - Soon after there is another scene of a couple in bed, again showing two more characters in a sexual relationship. I think this is a way of showing all the different characters and how they are portrayed in the show.
00.25 seconds - This scene then shows another eery side of the show, as a children's doll is shown in a very disturbing way. Her eyes are missing and her hair is a mess, making the doll seem creepy and suggesting a chilling atmosphere.
00.27 seconds - The final title is the name of the show 'Bedlam' with a blurred background so no indication of what is to come is shown. Since all of the opening credits were so diverse and flashed from different representations, it is unclear what the show is really based on.
