The title starts with a loud sounds of catchy rock music, this catches the viewers attention and empathizes the titles as they are shown onscreen the pace of the music matches and works well with the pace of the sequence if the sequence had been slower it would've become boring and longwinded which would make the viewer lose interest whereas if it had been to fast the viewer would'nt have had enough time to to see what was onscreen and would have also lost interest as they dont understand what is going on.

Each character is introduced as there title is brought onscreen.
Each character is represented in a cartoon style with a limited use of colour, the contrast of black and yellow defines the titles more as they come on.
Other colours such as blue and red even though they are not the main colours used like yellow and black they also help to emphasize the pictures as much as yellow and black or more as they are not the main colours and the viewers are attracted to these colours because they stand out more within the plain main colours.

Camerawork in the sequence is very quick, with mixture of zoom ins and outs, camera shaking, gives the impression of a hand held camera.

The pictures of the actors are shown as still images but they also look like pictures from a comic book, you get the impression of this from the colours that are used, the textural look of the pictures and also from the quality of the pictures
The shake of the camera and zoom ins show the titles as they come on, catching the eye of the viewer, making them interested.

Some props are used in the sequence which helps to give the viewer a feel of what the films genre is and also what the film is about, the props consist of: 3 guns, a baseball bat, an axe sunglasses, cigars, 2 construction workers hats, a cowboy hat and a hat worn by gangsters.
This helps to start the viewer thinking about the characters in the film for example, are the two constuction workers friends or enemys, who are the guns being pointed at and cigars are usually associated with rich evil people like the mafia boss or kingpin of spiderman
