For our opening titles we took inspiration from many places. We wanted to keep the titles simple and minimalistic as not to draw the attention away from the action, this style has appeared in many films and TV shows over time in different styles for example:
Taxi Driver (1976)
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Drive (2011)
All of these films have the title sequence come over the action which allows the plot to progress quickly without being overshadowed. The first two minutes of the film are so important that we did not want to waste time on not progressing the plot or introducing characters to the audience. We wanted to jump straight into the action without cutting the shots with titles as we think it will work well with our opening and save time. Furthermore our opening sequence requires you to focus on the action and if you were distracted by the titles, then you would miss important things that are pivotal to the story.
