Title Research: "Significant Other" - Opening Sequence

One particular title that was eye-catching from Art of the Title was the opening sequence from the film "Significant Other"

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

The streaming service and production company titles are displayed at the beginning of the opening sequence. A significant portion of the film is dedicated to select actors, the casting directors, the music director, the costume designer, the editor, the production designer, the photography director, the executive producers, the producer, the writer, and the director. The title is then displayed at the end.

What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

The scenes take most of the priority during the opening sequence. However, some titles become the main focus in some instances of the sequence as some of the text is displayed on a black backdrop. Other foreground titles are arranged in different positions especially to set focus and overall cleanliness in the opening sequence.

How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

Several events and editing techniques help create a sense of the dystopian, suspenseful, and mysterious plot of what is to come in the film.

At the beginning of the film, the film opens with a projectile on fire about to crash into the earth. At certain brief moments during the opening sequence, there is a scene in which a deer is attacked by an alien-like creature. To wash away the unorthodox events, a segment of the opening sequence features two persons in a car traveling down a road peacefully. A soothing song plays, but when the song is about to end, the main title is revealed, and then the song pitch fades down. 

The titles also contain one extra text character to build a sort of alien-like sensation. The text characters then merge into one during the screen time of the title.
