Title sequences

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.

The length and style might vary but the structure and order of what appears is similar.

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.
The title sequence begins with the sound of thunder closely followed by the beat of a drum and visual images. The use of the thunder could be linked to the idea of fear as thunder is associated with uneasy and negative feelings. The start of the music is loud and beat is repetitive, getting faster as the title sequence progresses. The images shown are dark and disturbing, showing an individual creating what seems to be a plan of some sorts, unknown to the audience, creating a sense of mystery.
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.
