Credit Title Sequence - Se7en

Se7en

Seven title sequence - Watch the Titles

In this opening sequence the fonts used are very distorted and sketchy which could resemble handwriting, this leaves the audience wondering whose handwriting is it, could it be the main characters? If it is what does that say about him? These are just a few examples of questions that might pop into the viewers head, the font creates enigma. The titles appear in different places, different sizes and flash, this is not typical of an opening sequence, it creates an eerie/mysterious feel suggesting the genre could be horror or thriller. The jumpy and sketch illusions can suggest someone's frame of mind, connoting it could be about a psychopath or someone mentally disturbed. The visuals behind the titles tend to be mostly of books, writing and pictures, near the beginning, 16 seconds into the sequence you see someone sharpen their nails with a blade, which isn't something that a normal person would do, suggesting this person is not normal and he could be quite mentally deranged. There is no fluidity in the way the titles alternate like you would see in other films, its all very random. For example at 24 seconds into the sequence the title 'Se7en' goes form being a small size to then taking up the entire space on the screen to then return to being small again. This could suggest anger like when someone shouts at you or how someone with multiple personalities may behave. Its all very unpredictable and keeps you on edge. The title of the film itself 'Se7en' has all sorts of meaning. Seven is never spelt like that which leads us to believe the main character may not be normal and there could possibly be something wrong with him.
