The Leftovers Season 2 title sequence

Cinematography
In one shot at 20 seconds, a figure of a girl jumping, she is the focus of attention, since she is made from an image of a galaxy and is positioned to the left of the centre on a white background. The surroundings are plain and simple compared to her. This could suggest that she was once an important person, that has now joined the missing people.
Mise-En-Scene
There is mainly country locations shown, with fields and rivers or a lake, a wood and simple housing estates. In some of the shots the missing people blend into the background, since the images used for the are from the same area or are of similar places. However others stand out greatly against the background, creating a contrast, since their body is made from an image of a galaxy or of stars.
Editing
The opening is a montage of pictures with groups of people in. In each shot at least one person has been edited out and in the shape of a person are images of galaxies and stars, the sky, the countryside or rain and water. This suggests that they have disappeared, but not completely, since the person's outline is still visible. Some of the images in the outlines of the people move, suggesting that time has been passing, meaning that they have been gone for some time. Due to everything else in the whole shot not moving, this could suggest that for them time has almost stopped while the others carry on without them. About 30 seconds into the opening one girl is in shot and slowly fades away, her outline left behind like all of the others. This could suggest that she doesn't disappear until part way through the series.
Sound
In the background of the whole opening is a country sounding song called, 'Let the mystery be.' by Iris Dement. It is upbeat with a guitar behind vocals from the female singer. This is contrasted to the actual lyrics that the singer says, for example, 'Some say once you're gone you're gone forever and some say you're gonna come back'. This could be foreshadowing what will happen to the missing people. This contrast is again shown by the shots of people next to their missing counterparts.
