This opening title sequence is very different from others, yet it still follows the convensions of a title sequence, and is true to the director David Finches. The title needed to set the pitch, plot and characterisation for the noir thriller. The opening title sequence has music playing throughout. The music matches the genre of the film and gradually picks up pace towards the end on the clip to increase tension and leave the audience on the edge of their seats. Unlike other tile sequences, we are not introduced to any of the characters, in fact we only see hands in the clip. The clips link together with hundreds of action matches telling the audience that everything links together at the end, revealing the murder element to this film. The font for the names is quite spooky, and the way they flash and flicker replicate a flashing light about to blow, that people associate with horrors/thrillers. The flickering also draws our attention away from the background for a second so the audience can take in the actor/director/production team involved.
