Title Timeline

Se7en Opening Sequence
Upon analysing Se7ens opening sequence, i found that in order to remain with the films genre of a drama mystery, based around a investigation, the title sequence witheld depth behind the mystery.  The title sequence was cut at a fast pace, using a variety of extreame close ups of objects and evidence, while the character remained unknown to the audience; creating a sense of mystery right from the start.  The production company was listed early on in the title sequence, just three secounds in.  New Line Cinema appeared on screen in white typography, eight seconds in reversed style typography in the same font and colour listed the producers name.  The titles of producersm costume designers, music writers, etc all appear one by one gradually through the sequence.  
The auditory code of dramatic music is played from beggining to end, with sound effects of a female screaming is also layered into the opening sequence.

By watching and analysing, I have discovered that is it important to influence the genre of the film from right at the beggining of the opening sequence through the choice of auditory codes, shot sizes, typography, camera movement aswell as the plot included.
