Opening Sequence to Pulp Fiction (1994)

Before the opening sequence even begins, we see a man and a woman in a diner. They decide to rob it after realizing they could make money off the customers as well as the business, as they did during their previous heist. Moments after they initiate the hold-up, the scene breaks off and the title credits roll. Below is the man and the woman as they attempt to rob the diner.

The first thing that we see is the film corporation that made this film.




This shows the production company created by Quentin Tarantin that catapulted to fame as a result of this movie. Its logo is a stylized image of the robbers from Reservoir Dogs and it was formed in 1991. 

The production companies do lots of work so it is only fair that every movie gives them credit and shows their name in the opening sequence.

This shows that the film was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino

Next, the title of the film is introduced in big, bold letters as it rises up from the bottom of the screen. The simple black background makes the title of the movie stand out even more than it already does. The red lettering behind the yellow gives it an effect that makes it look 3D.























As the actors who are in the movie are displayed, the title of the movie get smaller and smaller until it is barely seen





The co-stars are shown quite quickly as these are actors that appear in the film briefly, including the director, Quentin Tarantino himself.

It then shows who was in charge of casting the actors to play the roles of the characters

It then shows the music supervisor, the person who combines music and visual media

Then the person in charge of the characters costumes

 Then the production designer, the person responsible for the overall look of the film

 The person who edited the film together

 It then shows the director of photography, who is chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film, television production or other live action piece and is responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image.



The co-executive and executive producers are listed



The producer is shown just before the film starts and we see two men in a car talking to each other while one is driving. It then becomes apparent  that they are gangsters.
