The music in the Sherlock title sequence is very crime scene modern day London, which suits the TV show, also there are no lyrics in the music, this suits the fast-paced editing of location to location of the busy streets of London. The music seems to get more tense as the sequence goes on, especially right at the end, it build up tension for the audience and prepares them for the show. As the sequence goes on the images get more extreme and dangerous, for example; at the start, the images are of London streets and the London Eye, whereas later on, a gun and blood is shown, this foreshadows the episodes to come as they are full of crime and murder. The text of the Sherlock title is all in black, sophisticated and simple. The all black may have been chosen because it is a mysterious colour, no one sees past the darkness. The colour also has connotations of danger and detective, guns, magnifying glass, Sherlock's famous coat, they're all black.
