All titles are on screen for three seconds except for the movie title which is on-screen for six seconds long to establish the name of the movie. The 'Ryan Gosling' T1 is on-screen for 4 seconds, a whole second longer than the other actors' titles, as he is the main character and protagonist of the film. T21 is also on-screen for 4 seconds as it establishes the director of the movie. The chosen font and pink colour looks very luxurious and exotic and instantly reminds me of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's font. This could be intentional as the movie does contain a lot of similarities to the video game series. 'Drive' T2 clearly relates to the narrative as the shots in the background of the titles show Gosling driving around in his stunt car.

T16- 0:30-0:35- show title
'AMC presents' starts the title sequence to establish that the show belongs to them. All shots are on-screen for one second apart from the T16 which remains on screen for five seconds to confirm the title of the show which will be viewed momentarily. The font is a simple black or yellow depending on whether the colour coordinates with the background imagery. The show title is a bold ochre and looks fairly zombie-like to relate to the narrative of the show.

All titles last for roughly 3/4 seconds apart from the movie title which remains on-screen for as long as seven seconds in total. This is done in order to establish, clearly highlight the movie's title and quite possibly giving an insight into the narrative content. The repetition of John Carpenter's name is used to cement the impression that he has a big role in the creation and production of the movie.
