blog task 7 - Analysis of Two Film Title Sequences



Gone Girl title sequence - 

Gone Girl is a movie about the disappearance of a man’s wife and the world believes him to be the killer, no matter how hard he denies it. The director “David Fincher” captures this in the opening title sequence with different techniques. The uses of sound, shot types, setting, text, and dialogue all come together to start the film “Gone Girl.”

All the credits appear on the screen in capital letters, in white and block style font. They seem to also appear large and in the middle of the screen until the main title appears in between the ending of the main actors' credits and the beginning of the co-stars' credits




The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo


The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a 2011 Swedish-American psychological thriller film based on the novel of the same name by Stieg Larsson. This film adaptation was directed by David Fincher and written by Steven Zaillian

The opening sequence of ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ gives the audience an insight into the film’s darker sadistic side and links to the title through the black oozing ink that covers the screen. • Immediately the editor Kirk Baxter and director David Fincher set the tone and atmosphere of the film as disturbing and action packed, through their choice of shots and mise en scene.
