Black Swan: Initially we had in mind that Vanessa's passion would be swimming and that she would be the captain of the swimming team. After discovering that the pool was inaccessible, we were forced to reconsider our options, though we still wanted Vanessa to have some sort of athletic passion. Then dance (ballet) came to mind. After having studied Black Swan we realised how effective, opening with a dance routine could be, in substitute of her swimming. There is two characters in the opening of Black Swan; the woman in white and the male in black. The man is very creepy, the completely black costume establishes him as a dangerous, enigmatic character which contrast the innocence and fragility of the girl in white. We liked the idea of this subtle, symbolic distinction between the villain and naive victim and we are applying this technique to our own opening title sequence.
