Today in lesson I watched the opening titles of 'Fight Club' I established how the opening titles are incorporated into the opening of the film. The director uses white ghostly bold writing which is contrasting against the dark background. The titles flash up which keeps the audiences interested, which is a good technique so that the audience read the important titles and credits that are being displayed. The use of bold text introduces the story which is to do with fighting, I feel they have used capitals and bold text to portray a powerful strong effect just like the title 'Fight Club'. The audio within the opening credits is fast and powerful which makes the film seem like it is going to be interesting. This also builds suspense because it makes the audience want to know why the film is going to be interesting. The camera angles are the main influence for suspense within the opening the use of extreme close ups mean that we are unsure as to what we are looking at, this makes the audience wonder whether the images are that of a human or animal as we see the internal functions of a brain and body. This could tell us something about the plot that it is to do with mental problems as they show us images of a brain. The fast movement of the images should represent a heart rate rising as the adrenaline starts to kick in.
