Analysis : Inglorious Basterds (Video)

In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same.

Between 0 seconds and 0:12 secs, there is the logo of 'Universal' where we start with the Earth and the stars and then 'Univeral' comes across the Earth. Then the 'Weinstein Company' appears from 0:12 - 0:24 for 22 seconds and there is no sound until this point. Then 'Company Titles' appear from 0:24 - 0:32 which is for 8 seconds and after that between 0:32 and 0:36 there is no visuals at all! Then it starts again at 0:36 to 0:40 which is for 4 seconds where the visual is the directors name : Quetin Tarintino and there is a black screen behind the writing. Then the film title appear in a different typeface (like someone who would write the title) 'Inglorious Bastards' which occurs between 0:40 - 0:46 so for 6 seconds. Then from 0:46 - 1:46 the cast appears but there are different sections of cast for example, there is the 8 starring main case which is written in yellow western typeface and is fro 0:46 - 1:14 so for 28 seconds and then there is the co-starring cast which has like a calibri typeface which is yellow as well from 1:14 - 1:23 so 9 seconds. Then, there is the Guest starring cast from1:23 - 1:46 so 23 seconds which is normal white but a different typeface.
Then from 1:46 - 1:58, we see the writings on a black screen 'Nazi occupied France'. From 0:20 - 1:58 a soundtrack is playing, it seems like a traditional piece of music and you know it sets the scene and gives context as  that type of music would be played in WWII and the music fades out by the end. From 1:58 - 2:00 we see the year '1940' on a black screen.

I think the opening sequence sets the scene in a clear and obvious way which really helps the audience understand where we and be prepared for what's coming up.The music really helps us to set ourselves into the mood so we are prepared for what happens. Also, there is subtle transitions between each credit of name so you feel patient and relaxed and you get the chance to know who is in this film rather than normal films which speedily race through the names.
Although, I think the credits went on for too long just to drag things out which was boring and it made me almost turn off the film. This is very a negative thing and a tip to not drag on the credits because it turns away the audience. 

They could have made more location shots instead of having a black and white background and put the names on the side of the screen with transitions.
