The film se7n

 This is the film se7en , we had to look at the film and see the opening title sequence. within the title sequence we had to Analise what the title sequence was about, what could the title sequence be about, look at the titles, how the titles are, how they appear and disappear from the screen, what font is the titles in and colour. The actors names, how are they placed on the screen, the font and colour and the size. the names of the characters as well including colour,size, font and how the names of the characters come on and off screen on the title sequence. we had to look at what is in the title sequence and what they could represent.
In the opening of the film se7en,throughtout the title sequence there is no exterior or landscape shown this leaves the audience thinking more about the film, leaving them with questions on what is going on, who is that person they can see. having wider and extrior or landscape views shows the audience how that character in that film lives and how they have decorated their living enviornment ect these certain things makes a person, just by seeing someones house you can profile them in different ways but in this case we do not get to see the where that person is, when watching a trailer the basic information of the film and the characters are presented for instance who they are,what they look like, how they act, how they have their living environment, their hobbies and if they have photographs of family,friends, loved ones ect the backdrop gives the audience an idea of who and how that character is but as we do not no see the backdrop within this trailer this keeps the film,and the character within the film a mystery which makes it interesting and draws the audience to keep watching. we constantly see a close up view of the character's hands throughout the opening sequence,we do not get to see their face, or any other part of their body. in the title sequence there are different types of objects/ props that the character uses, we see paper, pen as we see the character is writing something,we see pages and pages of writting the character had done,suggesting the character is writting in a dairy or a letter we don't know as it is hidden enough for us not to see fully. needle and thread is used by the character as we see the character sow the pieces of paper that the character had written on, together which seems the character is making his own journal, for a moment we see a few more of the journal books that the character had made which suggest the character had been making them for quite some time, maybe for months or even years. we can clearly see sharp objects being used by the character, as the camera shots are mainly focused on the character's movements and within that frame we can only see the characters fingures and what the character is using and doing notthing else. throughout the entire seqence the colour stays near enough the same, dull, quite dark colours within the background which makes the title sequence seem dim and gloomy and has an effect on the film as it seems something bad is going to happen which has a relation to the on coming events within the film just from the title sequence, as the colours are dim, the lights are mainly dark and only sheds of light are within the title sequence making the title seqeuence to be a mystry like the character is trying to hide something that has happened or will happen and the way the lighting is shown it seems that life is being drained out from the character,suggesting the cbharacter is a bad person and that he mistreats his victims.The main thing through out the title sequence that sticks out is various words hightlighgted by the character, such as 'homosexual' and 'transsexual' as well as cutting out the name 'GOD'  from in a 'dolla note' which seems to be related to religious reasons.
More in to detail.
we see a person which we presume is a man,who is flicking through a book and the credits'new cinema presents' pops up in white lettering,changes to dark backdrop and shows  more of the credit but backwards and switches to shows them the other way.An image of photo copyed hands have been printed and appear, the opening then goes on showing the actors involved in this film, the name of 'brad pitt' is shown in white lettering after the man appears again but we only see a extre close up of his finger tips,we see the man using a raser on his fingure tips to erase his finger prints,scraping the layers of skin to hide his identity, the name 'morgan feeman'is shown in white lettering as well, images appear throughout the opening,we see the title of the film 'se7en'on the sceen in white lettering, the title starts to flicker but then returns to normal lettering and changes size from mid to big and wide to mid then as the background changes from plain dark into the film shoing the man picking up a book while he is picking up the book, the title 'se7en' changes into a smaller font size after the title disappears the name of 'gwynth pollrow' comes up.The next image is of the book opening up, then a olden type writter, then back using a extre-close up camera shot of the book which is opened and the man is writting inside'richard roundtree' name pops up then changes into more different images,'R.Lee Ermey' pops up we then see the man cutting up a photot strip and a picture and a few photo images of a little child, the title 'se7en' is appears again, very quickly and in lights, more images are shown of fake paper money and of photographs that the man had cut up and stuck down. we see the man turn a page with it filled up with writting, more credits follow on and still using extre close up shot we see the man crossing out certain words in which looks like a book of paretning or something to do with that topic as we see the words'when your pregnant' and the information underneth seems to be the defonision.these images of turning pages and crossing out words are shown once more, then man then crosses the eyes out of a young boy in a picture,then covers the hole image of the boys head in the picture by using black ink going across image then we see the man sticking in loads of paper and photographs and more images and we see more writting in the book, the book that we see is man made and has pages and pages of writing inside, throughout the title sequence we have no clue who the man is as we do not see the male's figure or his face only his hands and close up shots of his fingers and what he is doing. the opening sequence finishes off as the man takes the piece that has 'GOD' on the note off with twezers whilst this is happening a song is played in the back ground we hear these lyric's 'you kept me closer to god' which is interesting as the piece that is picked off frm the notes says god, then it ends by the camera showing man made books/ diarys the man has made after we se more credits then follows on into the start of the film itself.
