Analysis of the title sequence

• This title sequence is very similar to other Hollywood title sequences in the sense that we are first introduced to the Production and Distribution companies, and then we are introduced to the title of the movie, followed by actors, producers etc. and lastly followed by the director. 

• However it's quite different from some other Hollywood movies, as it shows it's own unique design in referral to font and the way that it shows on the screen. It very clearly links to the theme of the film and the general plot-line of the film. This also stands for the scenery behind the credits, which is very dark and gloomy - very much like the plot of the movie and the events which happen during it. 

• The dark, gloomy colours, the small figures which are moved by strings and the red eyes all refer back to the title of the movie. The sequence very much reminds me of a Tim Burton movie. In this sequence we are introduced to the main character at the beginning of the sequence, and during the sequence we are introduced to a few more important characters, although not all of them. 

• Furthermore, we get a sense of setting - which is a very gloomy, graveyard/circus setting and we also see a lot of spiderwebs. They are also seen in the credits, used as one of the ways in which the credits enter the screen.
