Deja Vu's opening titles is an inordinate example of tension and suspense being created during the opening descriptions. Along with the eerie music the slow jagged titles appearing on and off the screen bring the apprehension into existence.
- The first titling we see is of 'touchstone pictures'- the individual letters appear almost typed onto a black screen and they then fleetly fall out of the screen shot, not long followed by the directors and actors names, which too proceed in the same way.
- Having the individual letters typed on and then fall aside out of the shot, is a very effective way of implying that something abominable may occur.
- Often when the titles are on screen, they will be present in a white, clear box- the shot behind will frequently blur constructing a distorted image.
- At (1.17) the 'Deja Vu' film title will stumble into the shot, once again bounded in a small white box. This to some extent symbolises being trapped and enclosed- having watched the film, the opening titles do reflect a female character being entrapped by men, which is later to occur.
Thereafter watching and analysing the opening credits of 'Deja Vu', I feel that a similar style to how the titles are presented is something that would work rightful in our opening thriller. As a group, we speculated with creating letters that fall out of the shot- this will embody the storyline of our female character jumping off a cliff edge.
