Film titles and credits - Misery - Mathew Garrett


The credits and title in this film last for about five minutes, during moving images. These credits have been overlaid/superimposed over the moving images giving us a chance to see some of the film and the credits.
Title
The credits in this film begin once we see the character start driving. Each of the credits dissolves out. Each of the credits has been carefully placed on top of the images so that we are still able to see the action taking place. Some of the credits have been placed in shadows and along lines so that they stand out. At one point there is an extreme long shot as the car drives along the side of the cliff and a credit appears. The car follows the line in between the credit so that we are still able to see the vehicle and it makes it more interesting for the viewer. The coulour of the credits being red, could suggest different things such as this film could be about love whcih is associated with the colour red. Or it could be viloent and dagerous, these also are associated with red.
Music
The music in this sequence is contrapuntal as it is cheery and up beat, whereas the film genre, thriller, tends to have more eerie and tense music.
