The style of font used in the opening credits for 'Divergent' very much reflects the style of the film itself, so within the first thirty seconds, where no establishing shot has been made, and it is just a dark screen, we can figure out what kind of film it is already. The font is very computer-like, and slightly futuristic, due to the laser-like effects that surround the font. Also, the way the name of the film 'Divergent' appears on screen, fitting together like the pieces of a puzzle, reflects the 'perfect' society that is portrayed in the story of the film, so I think that is a very nice touch. At first, the names of the companies appear from off screen in blackness, with lasers accompanying them. Then a first establishing shot is made as the credits then continue, blocking the sun somewhat. As the camera pans onto the city that the film is set in, Chicago, the names of the main actors are portrayed, followed by the post-production team. Towards the end of the credits, as the city is still being shown from many different angles, the producers, director and author of the book are credited.
