In the opening sequence of Wallander we do not see any titles because it is not a film, it is a television show which was originally set abroad.
setting/ location
The setting is revealed by a helicopter flying over the ocean and then it shows the land where the two main characters. The establishing shot moves from sea to the land and this changed could be an early inidaction that change is coming in the story line.
Costumes and props:
We only see costuming of the two girls as they walk away from the cab. One of them is dressed in a very gothic style, with a leather jacket, jeans, and we see is covered in blood holding a knife. The other is also dressed in black but is just casual, with a jumper. This is effective because the colour black can help represent that the two dark characters.
Title and font style:
White, large capitals which stand out which make them look important, maybe like a warning and they are also really simple and don't give away too much information which keeps the audience interested and want to carry on watching to learn more.
Story:
The story is kept secret in the title sequence, All we have been shown is clues to later in the story sequence like how there is a cab driver who has been severely beaten by two girls and we see one of them drop a knife which then the knife shape cuts through the a yellow background the title is displayed over showing the importance the knife could be.
Interesting camera work:
when the woman drops the knife and the knife shape appears to cut through into a yellow background
Genre:
As soon as the body is discovered n the car from the close up with out actually seeing the murder, you can determine that the genre is thriller. It gives us lots of questions to ask with its large gaps left in the story during the title sequence which is a convention of thrillers.
