Title Order:

36 seconds - Will Smith [actor]
41 seconds - Emma Thompson Dean Mihok Alice Braga [actors]
48 seconds - Novel By Richard Matheson
54 seconds - Music By James Newton Howard
61 seconds - I Am Legend [title]
Font Used
The fonts used in the titles is 3D so that it blends in with the environment and makes it seem more natural. This reflects the absence of human elements in the film. The title itself used a 2D and so seems unrealistic, like a legend. The title is shown in white on a black background showing the purity of the 'legend' against the evil hordes of zombies. The font is also quite sharp and pointed which makes it seem quite old and medievil and further reflects the legendary warrior impression of the character we get.
Shots Used
The shots are all landscape shots showing the world in which the film is set. This gives us some insight into how and where the character has been living. It also means the titles do not distract us from anything too important.
Title Sequence in 12 Monkeys

12 to 40 seconds - quote/prologue
51 seconds - A Terry Gilliam Film [director]
58 seconds - Bruce Willis [actor]
01 minute 05 seconds - Madeleine Stowe [actor]
01 minute 11 seconds - Brad Pitt [actor]
01 minute 20 seconds to 01 minute 30 seconds - Twelve Monkeys [title]
Font Used
The font throughout is formal and futuristic (futuristic for 1995) and conveys the science and technology the film relies on.
Shots Used
The main shot used is the spiralling monkeys as a background for the titles. The monkeys, of course, illustrate the title of the film. However, the fact they are arranged in a spiral suggests the confusing loops of time travel and a sense of getting deeper into danger. Danger is also conveyed in the colouring; the red on black is a clear indication of danger, foreboding, and death. In these ways, the shot also sets up the enigma and plot of the film.
Both film titles show the film companies that made them, the director, and some of the star actors before showing the title itself.
