Titles

The titles in the film se7en have a very interesting animation. The titles change the font size in short bursts, as the title 'se7en' goes from going from a smaller font from the left to a large font that is centred for a split second. Also, the titles are very shaky. This could be used to build suspense and represent perhaps some instability with the characters. The font itself closely resembles handwriting. This could connote that there is a manipulative character in the story who is controlling. When the actors names are being displayed, on the opposing side to the name there are photographs that look like newspaper articles. This could be used to show that the story is based off of something that happened in the past, and this affects the story. The fact that the titles are white on a dark background shows the story will be dark, but have glimpses of hope and good.

The Walking Dead is a horror genre TV show. In its opening titles, it follows a similar pattern to seven in that it is a dark background with light text. However, they use colors like greens and browns. This is perhaps used to represent the forests and rural areas of Georgia, where it is set. This is something we could consider for our film, as ours is set in a woods. The font is capitalized and in bold to draw attention to it. This is similar to Se7en.

The actors names are displayed using extreme close up shots  and long shots. The names are usually displayed either to the left or to the right and at a part of the shot that is out of focus. This is so that it remains easy to read. The image also has a sepia filter to it, making it all flow together and making all the pictures look like they go together.l





With 'Evil Dead', the text is in red to represent blood. This is foreshadowing the violence that will be involved in the film. Also there are what appear to be branches silhouetted onto the text. This symbolizes both the setting, which may be in the woods or a forest, and also the mentality of the characters, as it may show that they are reliant upon each other and held up by something bigger than them, like the branches.

The names of those involved is also in red, with extreme close up shots of blood in the background. The names are in capitals to make the viewer subconsciously 'shout' it in their head, which helps build up tension. The colors of the background are black and red, with a bit of green. The green could again represent woods or forest or a rural area.
