Opening Sequence Analysis (titles)


This opening clip begins with the title of an actor in plain white writing on a black background and lasts for about 2 seconds. It then shifts onto the next actors name and this lasts for approximatley 3 seconds. Once the main two actors names have been displayed, the film title is displayed on the same black background for about 3 seconds before the opening scene is then faded into the background, with the film title still displayed for another 3 seconds. The opening scene is of a foggy sinister looking street and there is no motion or action taking place, it acts as a sort of location defining still image. The titles continue throughout this opening scene shot by including "Also Starring" . . . with another four actors name for about 3 seconds each one after the other.

Once the casting names have been displayed, members of the crew such as the editors name is then shown on screen for a period of about 3 seconds followed by the production designer for another 3 seconds. Music by is shown for a period of three seconds but slowly we can begin to see movement from an actor in the background walking towards the camera along the street.
