credit sequences

At the beginning when the camera is going down on to the map it zooms in  a few times.The visuals in the opening credit sequence are very good, this film is about war, army or the slaves and gladiators.on the map its showing the development in the city, the camera hovers over the map going from city to city to sow the difference in them. the colors are dark and dull but with a gold lighting affect. The credits are in gold the do not really stand out from anything, the blend with the sand and the gold at the beginning. the credits are plain but however they do stand out from the map. The is a lot of Ariel shot to show the buildings and sea. at the end of its fades to black and then the name of the director and who it was written by came up in gold, this shows to the audience that they are the most important people out of every name shown. They wanted the audience just to focus on them names unlike all the other ones that were shown whilst a lot was going on in the background.
