title research: gone girl

 The website I have decided to use is: http://www.artofthetitle.com/

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

They display that it is a David Fincher film Based on the novel by Gillian Flynn, Written by Gillian Flynn and Scott Huff. They also mention the actors like Rosamund Pike, Ben Affleck, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, Carrie Coon, Kim Dickens, Patrick Fugit, and Lisa Banes. Also, they mention the title “Gone Girl.” What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

The opening sequence of Gone Girl is quite stylized and features a series of images of the lead characters Amy Eliott and Nick Punne as well as the various places where the movie is set, including their sprawling New York home, the streets of Missouri, and the natural surroundings. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

Throughout the opening sequence, the film uses a voice-over narration by Ben Affleck’s character, Nick, as she describes the nature of relationships. The narration also sets the tone for the film’s overall mystery. The lighting in the film also helps to set the mood. The film uses a lot of natural, dim lighting, which creates a sense of uneasiness.
