This opening scene is from the film Crash (1996) from the website watchthetitles.com
What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?
-In the very beginning the producers are shown, then the production company is shown. The director title is shown last then the main cast title card plays. Before the last 2 main cast members' names are shown, the name of the movie is shown. After, the casting, costume design, music, editing, production design, photography director, co-producers, co-executive producers, the executive producers again, who it was written by, then lastly who it was produced and directed by are shown in a sequence. There were 2 executive producers, but only one name was shown in “produced and directed by”.
What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
-There are no images in the opening sequence. But the background of the title slides is black with a slight hint of dark blue. There are flashing lights coming and going after every name, that makes it appear as if cars are passing by you with bright headlights.
How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?
-The film establishes a feeling of mystery and makes you more curious. If you look closely at the silver chrome like font, you can see that its not completely straight, it has dents in them almost as if a car crashed into a metal structure. The guitar sound is slow with pauses in between before it goes loud then echos out again, adding the sense of mystery to the film.
