Se7en Opening Credits

I felt that this opening sequence is very effective as it sets the tone of the film early on establishes the genre (Thriller). The sequence is very enigmatic, as all shots used are close ups and extreme close ups of strange and chilling objects. The audience are not given too much information which is good, as it makes them more interested so they want to watch on and discover more. The rapid cuts let the audience know they are in store for a fast paced film. The sinister soundtrack playing in the background is very effective as it is parallel to what is happening on screen. The font used for the titles is very informal and looks almost handwritten. They do not fade in and out slowly conventionally but rather the text flashes quite rapidly.The white writing on a black background also strengthens the connotations of the genre.
