Here is another textual analysis based on 'Art of the title' opening sequence of 'The Last of Us'.

1. Daniel Winn

2.  The start of the opening starts with the actual name of the film, in
this case it is ‘The Last of Us’.
 It is shown on a plain black screen with bold white writing and
seems quite blunt and to the point which may represent the rest of
the film in a way of being the film is how it is for a specific reason.
 However in the next shot/scene the whole background changes and
the pace is picked up potentially representing an equilibrium which
may or may not come later on in the film.
 This will give the viewer many different opinions and keep them
guessing about the film until they get the opportunity to see the
film.

3.  The text on a few of the opening shots/scenes are all of similar
text and colours, this makes the opening look more professional as
well as better.
 Each name is mentioned either on a black or white background and
some names are shown with another person’s name who also
helped create the film.
 The viewers may be intrigued and fascinated by the unique design
and could raise their expectations for the rest of the film which
will then either be met or not depending on whether they like the
film or not.

4.  It is an effective opening because as it gives
almost nothing away, no real information is
given towards the audience.
 This will encourage the viewer/audience to
stay to watch the rest of the film since they
know very little during this point.
 With the uncomfortable setting this may
make the viewer feel on the ‘edge of their
seat’ and will enhance their experience.

5.  The first names that comes up is Bruce
Straley and Neil Druckmann, who are the
directors of the film proving that these two
are a big part in terms of the creation of the
entire film.
 Viewers who already have heard of these
names may have an idea of what to expect
where as others may not therefore giving
some of the viewers a better advantage to
understanding the film.
