What will I use from “The Talented Mr Ripley” title sequence?

The talented Mr Ripley title sequence had a lot of features which we could use in our own final production to successfully convey information whist attracting the audience. When we are first introduced to the film, along with music we hear a voiceover from Mr Ripley in addition to close up shots of intense, sorrowful emotions that change with the use of transitions. This builds strong messages about the character- it establishes they they’re the main character and it portrays the type of genre it will be (thriller). The genre is also conveyed by music, we hear airy yet delicate vocal notes of a woman singing so we know this won’t be a light hearted film. Mis-en-scene is shown through a wide shot including the character. Therefore we can establish time and location. One idea which I quite liked was the transitions that stubbly connoted Ripley’s broken personality.
