The inter title sequence for this film comes into play as this man begins walking down some stairs to see the person he has just shot. On the first step we are shown the production company for the film which is 'Exclusive Media'.The choice of font is a very simple type of font which doesn't present any link to the genre of the film which is unusual. The way in which each title appears and vanishes is at a very slow, calming and steady pace. This matches the manner in which the man is going down the stairs. The way each title comes and goes may also be a connotation to the pace of this film; I say this because, the non diegetic music is a slow burning gradual tension build type of tune. The shot of the man going down the stairs remains as it is and hasn't changed and all current indications from this opening inter title sequence point towards the type of film which keeps the viewer thinking picking up the crumbs the film leaves behind throughout the story.
After introducing us to all three companies responsible for. We're then shown the leading actors name 'Liam Neeson' and the title of the film. The title is introduced as Liam is at a mid shot level which presents the leading character and the film title together which heightens the significance of of this moment in the scene.
There's then a change in shot to an extreme close up on the face of a blonde haired women who appears to be being tortured. There are then multiple extreme close up shots as an in-depth picture is slowly un-veiled to show a the sexual harassment and torture of a lady who soon begins to cry. There's an all white and bright background which could deceive viewers into thinking they're watching a happy scene, until they look closer . Whilst all of this happens, there are inter titles of production crew member names which are presented in the previously mentioned, standard, entry and exit format (slow vanish in, slow vanish out), as well as the same font.
