Arts of a title sequence

The film I'll be focusing on is the Dark Knight (2008):

The opening of the Dark Knight holds many conventions, which are typical for a thriller. It begins with a very slow pace mysterious yet edgy music/soundtrack, which introduces you to the movie, but also you can tell straight away what kind of genre it will be. This also builds up tension for the people watching, as they don't know what to expect. 

As the production company and cast are listed, the music starts to speed up rapidly and has more of a harder beat. 

You can tell that the lighting is very dark as to match the genre and type of music being played, quick cuts are used a lot during the title sequence for example when listing the actors/tresses, for the audience it feels like as the camera is jumping they are moving with it to so maybe this was to make them feel more involved. 

As the title sequence comes to an end the title of the movie is shown, the screen fades to black and the music also slowly fades away as the scene begins.
