Opening Sequence - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo



The girl with the dragon tattoo has lots of opening tittles before the actual film starts. The films starts with displaying the production companies which most tittle sequences do.It then goes on to say what film it was 'David Fincher Film'. It then followed to say who was staring in the film which was 'Daniel Craig' who is one of the main actors in the movie. The reason his name is shown so early is because he is a well known actor, especially from the Bond films and this encourages people to watch the film. If they see his name early on then it gives the audience more of a reason to carry on watching it.  After the main actors had been mentioned the film tittle appeared 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' and you knew this through the way it was presented in bold writing.


It then went on to list a lot of the actors who  obviously play a decent part in the film and that’s why they are mentioned. It then went onto Casting etc. The director's name came last out of all of them before the film actually starts which is very strange as the director would normally be near the beginning.

As there are so many opening tittles you would expect it to be boring to watch but it’s not as there is a lot of action happening in the background. There is no colour used except the colour of fire at one point to relate to the dragon. Its all very dark colours such as black and grey. This is really effective as you can’t quite work out what is going on. The opening sequence action is hard to understand so you need to watch further into the film to find out what is actually going on.
