All of the titles featured in this movie opening are in white font and bold letters. They begin to appear on a layer of black covering the screen, then a few titles in, the scene of where the noise in the background is coming from fades in to focus. The title of the movie is introduced extremely effectively, 'Never Back Down 2 The Beatdown' fading is as a character with boxing gloves punches another character; I assume they're in a boxing ring. 

It is evident that this movie could be based around fighting and troublesome actions, therefore making the font of the titles seem more understandable as to why they look the way they do. They look slightly beaten down as each letter has a tiny break in it and bits are smudged in corners aswell. The font is most certainly not neat and tidy but actually the complete opposite. This links with the movie because the movie is clearly about punches being thrown and people being bashed around, causing a persons facial features to then be inaccurate just like the font. This font also represents the feel of the movie exceptionally well and pairs perfectly with the genre. 

The font being in white is a colour that allows the text to be clearly visible to the viewer, as they're planted on top of extremely negative scenery. The scenery is dark and lacking in vibrant colour, therefore white titles was a good idea for when inserted against a dingy background.

Names and titles continue to fade in and out, appearing on screen in an assortment of places until 2:18 where they stop. A lot of titles were introduced in this movie opening giving the viewer a large amount of background information behind the film.
