Stylised- Stylised film openings is a combination of discrete and straight into the film. With Stylised openings the film has started and we are making our first impressions of the characters yet the titles which are appearing over the top of the film are very different from what you normally expect- black plain writing. A good example of a Stylised opening is 'The Taking Of Pelham 1,2,3'

At first the titles are coming onto the screen by a black strip running along the screen. This reminds us of a train going past because in the background we can here the sound a train.









Suddenly as the camera work speeds up the titles become more fashionable and urban which goes with the loud upbeat music.










Here the titles become in time with the train and come and go as if they were trains leaving station.

The titles are quite cool and suggest that this is a cool movie and that the characters are quite edgy.    You can tell a lot by the title sequence and if the title sequence is bad then this could affect the rest of the movie but if the title sequence is good it gets the audience exited and ready for the rest of the film. However if the opening is to good then the rest of film will have a hard time matching that quality.
