Lord Of War- Opening Titles- Ed Boyce
















The Lord Of War titles are exceptional and probably the most enjoyable ive seen.
The titles are superimposed onto the film and the font is bold and white.
The opening titles form there own mini narrative. This is down from the Point of view of a bullet.

From the POV of a bullet we go from construction of the bullet, to the bullet being shipped to other countries and loaded into a gun.
The music is rather controversial to what you would expect to hear as it is an upbeat country song for a war film-not what you would expect.
At the end we are seeing out of a gun barrel and you can see that there is war going on. The bullet is fired and goes into a kids head. This was quite a brutal way to end the credits but it sets the scene well for a war film.
I personally thought the titles were great and they really stood out to me. From the POV of a bullet it just made them interesting, although i did feel a bit sick at times when the bullet was spinning around
