The Art of the Title.. It is very significant and shows importance to the opening of a sequence. I think it establishes the mood of the film and is the very first factor which gives off the feeling of the movie.
From the beginning we notice this is going to be about something dark. All black is used and the use of light gives the object in this opening a shining effect therefore we can distinguish between what's what.
This starts off with the name of the production companies, 'COLUMBIA PICTURES AND METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER PICTURES PRESENT'. Which is a very standard way of introducing an opening to a film
Because the title is 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' we expect to see something red related to dragons but to our surprise it is all monochrome of blach. Also the fact that it's a tattoo makes this fit well as tattoo's are black and dark and some ever scary.
The lit splint creates a huge contrast with what's being shown to us from the start. Anything that the splint touches, touches then something else and so on and it spreads and flies off in a form of some sort of weird creature with wings. Dragons had wings therefore this also links.
As the opening progresses on it becomes more and more violent with the smaching of faces and an eyeball melting inwards which in my opinion is pretty disgusting.
To the end of this opening the shots speed up to roughly about less than a second for each shot. This is a nice way to end an opening seqence as it brings the audience to a point of stop to reflect back upon what they've just seen. Which was pretty disturbing.
