Case Study Of A Film Opening

The film opening I am going to analise is of the film Fight Club.
Here is the link to the film opening of Fight Club: http://www.artofthetitle2.com/media/film/1999/fight_club_480p.mov

At the beginning of the DVD the the film studio's logo ('20th Century Fox') is shown.

After that the production's logo ('Regency Enterprises')

The next thing is that you hear music playing and these titles show and dissapear agian:
Fox 2000 Pictures and Regency Enterprises present;
a David Fincher film;
Brad Pitt; Edward Norton; Helena Bonham Carter;
Fight Club;
Meat Loaf; Jared Leto; Zach Grenier; Holt McCallany; Eion Bailey;
Casting by Laray Mayfield;
Costume Designer Michael Kaplan;
Special Make-up Effects Supervisor Rob Bottin;
Sound Designer Ren Klyce;
Music by The Dust Brothers;
Film Editor James Haygood;
Production Designer Alex McDowell;
Director of Photography Jeff Cronenweth;
Executive Producer Arnon Milchan;
Based on the Novel by Chuck Palahniuk
Screenplay by Jim Ohls;
Produced by Art Linson, Cean Chaffin, Ross Grayson Bell;
Directed by David Fincher.



(sorry you have to click onto the image if you want to see everything.)

The scence that is behind these titles represent a brain's neural network.
Which indicates that the owner of this brain is thinking heavily.

There is no introduction to the main character and there also is no introduction to the story or anything.
I think they are not introducing something because they want to capture the audience's interest by not showing anything other than the brain's neural network.
