All the way at the start of double indemnity they fade all the credit scene to try and set the scene. The way they do this is but a fade and this means when it changes to the next set of titles it slowly comes to replace the next one. This connects to the narrative of how they start to set the story but as soon as you get to the start of movie they instantly go to cut scenes and this gives a feeling of the tension growing and as soon as you see it shows the car speeding and it puts you on the edge of your seat. As it goes from the fade to the cut you don’t expect it and that gives a certain edge to it. Also the story starts off by us showing a man who has been injured and then it goes straight to a guy rushing through a city and you would kind of expect this from a Film Noir. Then after the tense moments of the car rushing through the city it goes back to fades. Also the story shows a man driving quickly through a city and it shows that it is something urgent.

All thought titles and the scenes of the Dark Man they use either cuts scenes or fade scenes. At the start they use fade scenes to go from one credit to another. But what they do well is they split the credits with short scene of acting and here they also use the fade cuts. This means that when one credit goes the next one slowly fades in. But as the last to screen grabs they start to use the cut scene and this increase the intensity of the movie which puts you on the edge of your seat. But going back to the start with the fade scene and the acting scene it creates a calm atmosphere and also builds the scene. What you can see in the dark man is a man is in a car and getting driven to a house and when he gets there he kills a man for some money.
