Opening credits analysis

Number 1

What is noticed

The opening credits makes very clever use of text editing. To begin with, the text is in an unusual font, as if written by a human but in an odd way, which is very mysterious as well as creepy at the same time. The text also jumps around one part of the screen, as if to jitter. Both these points could give the audience an idea of the antagonists personality, being unstable and inhuman. The way the text violently shakes will also make the viewer uncomfortable. Finally, the text is mostly placed on a dark ground, when all text is bright white, which represents the films general dark and serious tones

My view

I enjoy the way the credits are laid out, as it gives the audiences an idea of what the film has to offer in the form of tones and themes
