Blow Up (1966) Film Credits


At the beginning of the film Blow Up, the credits take place in the park where a much of the action takes place, and where the main character disappears at the end of the film. The credits are written in a large, plain  font with scenes mirrored in them, like cutouts.  The music played is unusually cheerful, as the film's general atmosphere is rather serious, due to it's plotline of a mysterious corpse a photographer notices in a picture he has taken. Interestingly, the majority of the  music used is diegetic, usually being played from a record player in the photographer's apartment or a live band (featuring Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin) in a club.
