Ed Boyce- Old Boy

Old Boy
















The credits in Old Boy start 3 and a half minutes into the film. When they start they are super imposed onto the main character.
Titles
The first sign of the titles is the digital time shown on screen this then transforms into writing.
The numbers change like you would see on a train time board.
The digital time fades and we then the credits start. The credits switch between the digital time and writing. There are Chinese symbols either side of the writing. The symbols turn clockwise like an analog clock. This simulates the hands of a clock turning.
After this the credits continue, but they are shown over images of distorted clocks. The sound of a grand father clock goes off but the sound is distorted. The distortion raises confusion in the audience. Both digital and analog clocks are shown now. The clocks are ticking the wrong way, this makes us think that there is something strange going on in this film. As the main title shows there is a graphic match between the clock, the letter "o" with a "y" inside of it. The "y" and "o" then form the title old boy. The "d" and "y" of the title turn round again like and analog clock, letting us know that time is important in this film.
