Throughout the opening sequence, the typography stays the same. Each title stays on the screen for 4 seconds and there is a 2 second pause between each one. The titles appear continuously on the screen throughout the sequence until the last 40 seconds. The same font is used throughout: white, bold, straight edged. Furthermore, the titles always appear in the centre of the screen.

In this opening sequence the author, of the book that the film was based on, is credited last. I believe that is because they felt he deserved the most recognition as the film is based entirely on his work.
