Film 1: Vertigo - Alfred Hitchcock
This title sequence begins with dramatic orchestral music, which shows that the genre of this film is Thriller. What I also like about this title sequence is the extreme close up shot on Kim Novak's eyes, for it shows a sense of mystery and ambiguity, and it gets the audience to think about what she is looking at or looking out for. As the title sequence progresses, we see patterns spiralling from Kim's eyes, whilst the music continues with soft minor arpeggios and then loud sudden brass, which maintains the tension in the opening, keeping the focus of the audience on the title sequence.
Film 2: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - David Fincher
The opening to this title sequence is very intense through the sudden introduction of ambience which quickly blends into loud music, to immediately grab the audience's attention. What I also like about the music is that it sets a dark tone for the rest of the film. As well as this, the profound typography helps the audience to focus on what is happening in the title sequence, where we can observe the large amount of imagery that is included, for example the hands and bodies that appear from the black tar.
