Why this credits of this film?
■ The special effect in this opening credits is that the text has been animated to create
the illusion that is being drawn
 The letters are getting more detailed by a flow of the endings
 The background or the actual scenes are dark and most of the time black which
creates mystery, power and implies submission
 However, Everything was supposed to be a fever dream of Salander's, David wanted
this to be her personal nightmare, flashbacking through all these moments wanted to
do everything photo-surreal, instead of using traditional film effects
 For our opening sequence:The text or the kind of text David Fincher created for his
opening sequence inspired us because it connotes the mystery, power and implies
submission we also need for our opening sequence
