Evaluation

The titles fade softly in and out which relates to the slow piano introduction of the song. The title of the film is shown a lot bigger and bolder than the other titles, as in the very centre of the screen. White font colour is used to contrast against the dark and dull background so that they can be clearly read. The names of the people who have made the film are bigger and bolder than their role. The titles do not stay in one place on the screen, they appear in different places depending on what is being shown in the background. The footage shown in the background makes the title sequence a lot less boring and also gives some clues about the content of the film, which will cause enigmas.
