From watching this title sequence I noticed that the main characters in the film are at the beginning of the title sequence after the production companies, and the characters get smaller the later down the title sequence they are. Conversely, within the production roles they get bigger the later in the title sequence, ending with the producers and the director. This clip shows how important the sound behind the opening titles is, as the constant harsh rhythm throughout instantly shows this is a thriller film.
