Titles- Along Came a Spider

http://www.watchthetitles.com/articles/00113-Along_Came_a_Spider

This is the title sequence for 'Along Came a Spider'. Most titles for thriller films are shown during the set up, but 'Along Came a Spider' choose to show there titles differently. They drop the letters down on a spiders web, a very clever twist on ordinary titles while keeping in tune with the name of the film 'Along Came a Spider'. They also use the titles as a way to start off their opening sequence, by incorporating a voice over that follows into the opening sequence, it shortens the set up and also makes the transition smoother.

I really like this technique but I think it may not be a suitable technique for our Thriller opening because it would be hard to do and may not suit our type of film. I also think it would be hard to come up with a clear link between film and title sequence.
