The opening title sequence of the film Mon Oncle displays a unique style of visual elements using geometric shapes and neutral colors. The modern homes of Monsieur and Madame Arpel and their neighbors in the suburbs of Paris include geometric shapes such as circles for windows and squares for tiles. This technique along with using neutral colors such as grey, white and blue further supports the modernity and tidiness of the homes. The level of modernity of these homes is also displayed when compared to the town of Monsieur Hulot is shown in the city district of Paris. This town is worn down and shows a lot of diversity in terms of shapes and colors, possibly suggesting the lifestyle of Monsieur Hulot and of those living around him.

The opening title sequence of the film Mon Oncle also displays a strange style of movement where the dogs move very formally in the suburbs of Paris when compared to how they move in the city district of Paris. For example, one scene illustrates the dogs acting rough while searching for food in the trash cans along the streets of the district. Another scene illustrates the dogs acting much quieter and simply curious as they enter into the new developments in the suburbs of Paris. Another way the film displays controlled movement is by illustrating the traffic light changing colors even with no cars on the road. This traffic light was absent in the city district of Paris as only Monsieur Hulot road with his carriage which could imply an absence of modernity.

The opening title sequence of the film Mon Oncle uses very minimal sounds and dialogue. Throughout the quiet scenes of the suburbs of Paris, the only sounds that are used are to draw attention to the industrialization of the new developments in the suburbs of Paris and to draw attention to the rough nature of the city district of Paris. This is shown in the beginning where the construction workers are building the new developments and when the dogs open the trash can in search for food and create an irritating “bang”. These differences in sounds further supports the control and lack of control of environments in the suburbs and in the city district of Paris.
