Opening credits and title cards research - GANGSTER/CRIME genre content analysis

For my foundation film project opening film, I have been considering the opening credits which will include myself and everyone else who starred in the film and helped me create it. I think that it is an important part in a film because it the first thing the audience will seen, so it is important to attract them and show what kind of a film it is.

This is the title card from the 1979 British gangster film The Long Good Friday, it is very basic and bold by using white capital letters and a black background which I think works with these type of films.

This is from the film Raising Arizona. It also has a simple tile card
but the text is filled in with a landscape shot of Arizona desert, which shows the audience where the film takes place.






The title card used in the film Dr No is again basic but effective and I really like the use of purple and red text on a black background, it makes me think of other spy/ thriller films from the 1960's.
