The document analyzes and compares the title sequences of two films: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) and Deathproof (2007). The opening sequence for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is very dark and ominous, matching the film's macabre storyline and acting as the main character's nightmare vision. In contrast, the opening for Deathproof is light-hearted and family-friendly, despite the film itself being more graphic, creating an unnerving effect. Both openings set the tone for their respective films through symbolic images and contrasting moods.

Title sequence analysis
- 2. • Film 1: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) The opening sequence is very dark, and macabre, and indication of the overall tone of the film and it’s storyline. The opening sequence was created to be a vision of a nightmare the main character would have. At the start of the sequence, it is very unclear what is going on, several images are shown, all rather ominous and unclear. It becomes more apparent what these images are as the opening sequence progresses. This could match the storyline of the film: a complicated case being solved. The images shown appear to be symbolic of the events/ characters in the film.
- 3. • Film 2: Deathproof (2007) The opening scene starts with old-fashioned mock notices, like those seen before watching a film in the cinema (age rating etc.) This appears in most of the director's (Tarantino) films. The opening is also rather light-hearted and family-friendly compared to the film itself. This may be viewed as either humorous or slightly unnerving.
