Firstly, the most interesting part of the opening few titles is the Fade-in & outs for the text. While all the text of one frame Fades-in, with the Fade-out one letter is left for a few more seconds than the others before fading. In order these letters spell; Identity, having the film name appear in this way already creates a eeriness that transpires into interest and questions raised for the audience.
It is important that the font used, although generic, fits the already established mood of the film. It is simple and is easy to read, unlike a 'Baskerville' used font which is commonly used for Period Drama's or Romantic Movies. This simplicity fits well with the eerie fades.
After the initial 'Columbia pictures' frame, we are then given the titles superimposed on film footage.
The Editor/ Titlists have utilised depth-of-field and black parts of some shots to make sure the white font isn't lost within the frame and is clear to the audience.
