Title sequences:
A title sequence plays an important part in a film with foreshadowing what the film is about and giving us an insight into the atmosphere of the film. Title sequences can be elaborate and unusual; such as the 1936 Show Boat film, which shows little cut out figures holding up banners, can be clean and simple such as The Accused (1988) which shows simple white lettering overlayed upon the establishing scenes.
Title sequence research-
Seven- is a 1995 American thriller film written by Andrew Kevin Walker, directed by David Fincher, and distributed by New Line Cinema.
Within this title sequence, images of a handwritten book and mangled body parts are displayed, giving us an idea that this is about a surgery. In this, the images of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" are presented in imagery form, having these specific traits erased with a marker pen. This could be suggesting that the individual in the title sequence is someone who considers themselves as religious and as a righter or wrong doings. This is also seen in the shot of the hands with wounds in the wrist area, implying crucifixion.
