Title Sequence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4thzyFFdvVc    Title sequence to 'Seven'

 

At the beginning of this title sequence for the film 'Seven' there is a very loud gun shot. The gun shot makes the audience know straight away that it is going to be a crime/action thriller. This would be good to use in our opening sequence as we would get our genre known by the audience straight away. We could maybe even use a scream or loud bang at the beginning or even at the very end to add even more suspense.

 

The non-diagetic music played created lots of suspense as it is very distorted and changes speed. It is also very mysterious and sinister which again sets the theme.

The words that are put on screen are also very distorted, this makes the opening credits look sinister and creates a sense of confusion.

 

Various cuts of different images are used fast which gives it a fast pace and again builds suspense. We could use these fast cuts in our opening sequence as it will keep the audience interested and wont seem like the opening credits are taking a long time.
