 By putting these credits into a timeline we learnt that its a legal requirement for some of the cast and crew to be named before the film. We also learnt that the credits are usually shown in order of importance, for example Sigourney Weaver has her name even before the actual title of the film indicating she is seen as a very important person in this film. We also learnt a general order that most tile sequences are put in. For example the production company always comes first to stop copyright and to brand their films as theirs.

Art of the title: 9 frame analysis.

At the beginning of the opening credits there are many images of animals being scanned like this snake. This is important as it hints at the idea of a baby sonogram. Also the snake relates to the appearance of the baby later in the film and scaly texture of the women's womb.
S.

 This image shows the colour scheme which is apparent throughout the title sequence. It is a dark and slimy texture which could relate to the genre of the film also being dark. It also introduces one of the main character's as her name is written on what appears to be an organ which could hint to what the film is based on.
A.

 Like the previous picture the colour scheme in this image demonstrates the dark themes of the film. The name is written what appears to be in veins presenting the hint that the credits were designed to look like the inside of a human body (aka womb). 

S.

The font in this image illustrates that it was possibly set in a hospital. This is because the font used is block letters and standard rather than bold which is usually used in doctors notes. This also shows a contribute to the making of the film.

A.

 This presents the name of the director of the film which could be a huge hint to the audience if you knew any of his previous work. Its once again written in a doctor script and the background is some sort of fluid once again linking to the idea of a human body.

S.

This strange image of a bump could lead to the audience questioning what the film is more based on. It again uses the dark and pale green colouring which gives you the sense that the film is quick sickening. The image looks like it is in some kind of fluid which also highlights it being linked to a woman's womb.

A.

 This image shows an actors name written in some sort of scales or growth. This hints that the film is going to focus on some sort of illness and the audience wonders what could be wrong with this woman. The colour green is used again creating a dark theme.

S.

This image introduces the people who work with special effects, this gives the audience an insight as to what the film will include. It's written in the doctors script to make it the same theme throughout the opening sequence.
A. 


In this final shot the films title is introduced in the same way the actors and actresses names were. The word has been created to look like veins or some sort of growth in liquid. The colour scheme is consistent and this final shot introduces the film thats about to appear.
