title sequence-SEVEN

 

This opening title sequence from the film Seven by Kyle Cooper is made dominantly in the style of a montage. We can tell straight away the genre of the film thanks to the clips and choice of music. It is a  psychological crime thriller film. The clips in the opening title sequences are very dark, black and white, old-fashioned. They seem to be clips of the murderer planning his murders. The way Copper added special effects into the sequence makes it into an almost horror style. Than every seconds we see a black screen with white ‘scratched on’ credits to the film. Some of the key themes that come out during this sequence is murder, mystery, death, creepy, violence, disturbing images. 

The music in the sequence is very unsettling and scary. It makes the audience feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Apart from the main melody we can also hear that weird noises were added into the recording. The style of music that plays in this sequence is very similar to another title sequence I saw that was by Kyle Cooper, it was the opening title sequence of the first season of American Horror Stories.
