credit TITLE sequence research:The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

In this opening sequence the credits are randomly placed on the framing. The colour is white this evidently creates a juxtaposition between black liquidation throughout the credits. The font is written in capital letters to make it readable to the audience and accessible to read while watching the different shots. The only other colour presented is the orange for the fire, this foreshadows the next film in the series. It also makes the audience question the significance of the fire. Fire represents danger and caution, in the pictures one is someone being choked. These parallel the idea of lack of oxygen. The frames are fast and sharp the credits parallel this, it shows the genre idea of action. It keeps the audience's attention and sets the pace for the rest of the movie. That black liquidation seeps into everything, it penetrates through each frame giving continuity and gives the illusion of suffocating, sensuality and silence. The title becomes part of the suffocation of the black liquid. It is bold and in capital letters to give audience title knowledge and continuity with the other credits. It starts of a silver colour and this becomes black. This connotes in the plot that something or someone is shiny and treasured and becomes black, their soul or something becomes dangerous and dark.
