The opening sequences to 'Fight Club', is meant to represent the centre of the characters brain, while going though the brain of the protagonist you see electrical pulses which are meant to represent, impulses of fear. The unusual start of the opening sequence is then inter-linked with the beginning of the film, this grips the audience as it has music in the background which keeps in theme with the scene of the sequence.
As the credits role, which involves the actors involved, the director, the producers, the specials effects creator etc... As these names come up it appears and then disappears as though it is like smoke as though it fits in with the set of the sequence. The camera starts to pull back, which the change of the place is changing as the camera is going though the different parts of the brain, until it comes to the clogged up pores showing the sweating of this character. Then pulling back to reveal a gun being lodged down his throat explaining the sweat of fear and the impulses of fear of this character.
From the opening it is very clear that it is a thriller by the constant movement of the camera how it is very fast pace, keeping the audiences attention. The shot pulling back, to end with a shot of a gun down the characters throat, this is a very strong shot to start with as it intrigues the audience, making them wonder how this character came to this situation and what this character is going to do to get out of this situation.
