Title Sequence continuation

Symbolism is important in the title sequence. Relating something in the title sequence to a theme in the film is effective at hinting the future of the film to the audience. The film 1408 does this by having the main character put a packet of cigarettes down and a close up of one, which hints at the cigarette's importance at the end of the film.

The title screen would have a large impact on the audience as it would be the first thing they see, so it has to be interesting, and a good title screen, like the rest of the title sequence, should be able to give the audience an idea of what the film is about.
