Analsis of title sequences- Se7en-

All the way through it has tension, (good for thriller films) and it is already making the audience have questions. The pictures are clear and the words are moving about quickly but you are still able to read them and see the picture behind. The lighting is low-key and the lettering is white with a font similar to Chiller...

This makes the title sequence set the mood of the film and what you're expecting to happen, I personally think that this font is great for the thriller and horror genre as I think there will be blood (and maybe some mild gore).
All these ideas have come from the font and colouring alone!
During the title sequence the first shot you see is a book from the front view it is a very shadowy and creates mystery right from the start. The appearance then changes from a mystery black to white to red, these colours could be representing possible blood and danger. normally white on it's own shows innocence but the red with it makes it look cynical and clinical. This first shot is very mysterious as you can't read the writing in the book and raises questions. Then after a few shots of the pages in the book you see someone shaving skin from their finger tips- this for me suggests that there will be blood definitely in the film and maybe some gore or scenes that viewers may find disturbing. The soundtrack of the title sequence is very mysterious  and doesn't give you very detail, you are able to hear a constant build up in the background until the title Se7en appears which is the climax to the title sequence after that the soundtrack becomes a little quitter but you know from what you have already seen the ending will be unpleasant.
