Film Opening Titles - Pretty Woman

Pretty Woman 

Film titles in the order they appear:

'An Arnon Milchan Production'

'A Garry Marshall Film'

'Richard Gere'

'Julia Roberts'

'Pretty Woman'

In the very first second of this movie opening a title is introduced, this being "An Arnon Milchan Production" in the middle of the screen. The words have been presented in tall capital letters that are lined up extremely close together almost making each word a type of illusion. They pop up out of nowhere in the middle of a magician performing a trick. They're in white letters with a slight black frame behind them, giving the white letters a 3D effect as they emerge from the black background surrounding them. The font is quite old fashioned and dated which allows the viewer to gather an assumption of the themes within the movie. It could be based in an older setting like the 1980's or 90's. This assumption comes from just the first title.

The man continues his trick as "A Garry Marshall Film" then pops up in the middle, in exactly the same style of font and colour.

At 3:20, the name of an actor is finally introuduced to the viewer as being "Richard Gere". It pops out of nowhere in capital letters, same font and colour as the beginning titles, after the driver gets trapped in a dead end. Could this driver possibly be the character being played by Richard Gere? These titles then fade out, as the next ones arrive, "Julia Roberts", at the same time as the beat of the music; creative. A male name, and a females name, then the title of the movie "Pretty Woman". From this order of titles, it's evident that the male actor and female actor are both the main characters in this movie, which indicates how it could be a film based on romance. 

I believe that the use of old fashioned font at the very beginning of the movie was a good introduction for the viewer to get an insight into what year this film could have been filmed in without even seeing many faces or scenery.
