The opening titles of this film are written in a serif font and are white in colour. This helps them stand out against the black background of the screen. The titles flash straight onto the screen above images of dark figures. There are tails on the letters of each title that appear to grow as they flash off of the screen, like they are making themselves known to everyone that is watching.
