In the opening title sequence of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I have chosen 9 frames that help

explain more about the genre of the film and the type of film theyre about to see. It sets the tone for The girl with the dragon tattoo and apparently gives allusions to the entire film trilogy, according to my research. The title sequence has very dark and gloomy colours involved to represent and set and impression of the main character. In the middle shot of this sequence below wings that are lit on fire can be seen, this represents the main character (the girl with the dragon tattoo) to be powerful and the heroin of the film. Its full of disturbing imagery and liquid substances from which things are created. This creates enigma and places the viewer in a very confused position as to why all of these things are happening.

Below are further screen shots I have chosen to show the common order in which titles appear and who appears on screen. These shots remind the audience as to who is involved in the making of the film and the famous actors which create a huge fan base regardless to the genre or conventions of the film. This film follows the common order of titles which is the distribution company, the production company, the main characters, the crew involved in the making, and finally the director. This entices the viewer as it helps keep them engaged from the start and to impress the audience by presenting the A-list actors starring in the film. During the title sequence in the background a process of liquid formations is occurring to create a more interesting opening with enigma being created from the start.

Main title font set: I conducted some extra research into the font and colours of the titles and this is the main title font size that was used in the film credits. They chose fonts that they thought match the type of film it is.
