Opening Credits Analysis: The Ghost Writer (2010)

In contrast to both of the previous opening credits analysis's I have recently posted, this design is very plain and quick paced. Unusually, it starts with the title, before any big name stars or production companies, but is closely followed by Roman Polanski Productions which most people would recognise. This is then followed by three or four big name actors such as Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan. There are not many 'slides' that have just one name on, so when only one person's name comes up you know they are important, like the editor and the composer of the music. This film is a British political thriller which is a similar concept to our idea, and therefore we can take inspiration from this.
