DIRECTED BY DAVID FINCHER

The titles in this film fit extremely well with the overall theme and tone of the film. The titles start off at a reasonable pace and then start to pop into frame in a haze. The text is played over the top of random clips, giving the serial killer in the film a bit of back story and explaining subtle plot points like how he leaves no fingerprints. In the brief glimpses, we can see the serial killer taking out random  texts in newspapers and the font of the titles is based around this. The font is very unorganised and is presented as if someone has cut dolls of film together and put them into snippets where they shouldn't be, this could also be a reference to another one of David Fincher's films, Fight Club. The sequence is played with unsettling music playing in the background, this shows a brief glimpse of the extremely dark moments that will follow.  The credits roll in a way that shows the main characters and key people in the film, but as the credits continue to roll, lesser known cast is presented in larger quantities and is evenly capped off at the end by naming the director before transitioning into the first scene.
