'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' titles evalutation

This opening title sequence evaluation begins with the production companies, Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn Mayer pictures which only stays on screen for 3 seconds. This continues with every name throughout the sequence, as they all stay on screen for 3 seconds only and all scattered around the screen in the corners and bottom of the screen in quite a small font. Even the director, David Fincher stays on screen for 3 seconds on the left hand side, and it is the same for Daniel Craig.
What this says is that the film is clearly story led due to the pre-sold element of a hugely sucesfull book, that first became a Swedish film, as the book was written by a Swede, Stieg Larson and then adapted once more into an English film starring recognised British and American actors such as Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. Even the tile, although in slightly larger writing, still only stays on screen for 3 seconds.
