Title Sequence Research
Se7en
·
Montage used to create suspense and curiosity
· A lot of dissolves used to give a
suspicious effect to the montage.
·
The clips used in the montage are hits to what
happens later on in the film. They give the audience an idea of what the main
protagonist is about. That he is crazy and deluded, maybe obsessive because of
the way he’s sewing a book together and colours out peoples faces in photos.
·
The font used for the actors names and any
credits given is a kind of scratched font that shakes on a black screen (as
seen on screenshot)
·
The music is very low key. The beat continued
throughout the title sequence could also represent a beating heart. The pace of
the music also alters during the titles sequence, beginning very slowly and
getting progressively quick as the titles go on. Until the end where one drum
beat signals the end. This drumbeat could also signify the end of someone’s
life, ending before the film began, creating codes of enigma in the audiences
mind.
·
You can only see one mans hands throughout the
sequence; nobody’s face is shown. This creates a sense of horror and
unknowingness as the audience doesn’t know who the hands belong to and what
they are doing/trying to create.
