Titles Research- Drive [Scott]

In the Drive opening Credits sequence the main thing to point out is the positioning of text titles. Because the titles in this film come superimposed over film footage the Titlist has positioned each text cleverly in the frame. As we can see below they have utilised the empty space of the shot between Ryan Gosling's head and hand to place the Film's name title, not only does this work because it is the centre of the screen but because it doesn't cover any of our established main character and the colours of the shot (Black/ Dark Blue) highlight the pink font title so that it is clear for the audience. 
It is also larger in comparison to the titling screenshot below, this helps differentiate between film name and crew member name (Cast/ Director). 
On the underneath shot, the titling is shown to us and naturally underlined by the dashboard of the car. This adds symmetry and a neat, professional look to the titling. Once again, the colours of the shot help to illustrate the text even more, with the contrast of a light pink to dark blues and blacks.
