Evaluation

To start off with, the first few titles fade slowly in and then each letter flies quickly towards us as if they have been knocked. This is all in front of a red smoky background. The fading slowly in creates mystery and the flying out relates to the film genre of action. The main title of the film is made very clear, with bigger, bolder, bright text which stays on the screen for a while. This is so the audience are aware of the title. From then on, all of the titles appear and quickly dissappear in a bold black or white font. Because the titles change so quickly, they relate to the action genre. In the background of these titles are moving lines, and illustrated pictures. The moving lines related to the film because they resemble a spiders web, and the drawings lead back to the traditional spider-man marvel comic.
