the title sequence starts with a series of titles. (An external shot outside the taxi) a long shot of the smoke coming from the front of the taxi. Then the camera cuts into a close up of the taxi as it sets off. The camera passes down the side of he taxi. Then the credits start with the film name first.( internal shots) Once the titles finish we see a close up of the mans face. At this point the mans face goes from light to dark this is to show a hidden side to the character. Then a red light appears on his face this shows danger in a close up. We then see a P.O.V shot from the mans eyes looking through  the front window. here we continoue looking through the window this is when we see a long shot of the street as the titles start once agian.
