se7en (PART OF CLASS ESSAY)
I felt that the title sequence for se7en was creepy and mysterious. It was quite disturbing as well.He was trying to get rid of his identity by scraping off his finger prints.This suggests he could be a serial killer and has planned things through to not get caught also this person seems to know what he is doing.From the close-ups we cant tell what or where the location is but we can guess that it is in a confined room. The reason why i think this is because the person who is making this book doesn't want anybody to know about it. The person who is making the book is making it with perfection. He sticks a picture down precisely and sows some pages together with care. Also he cuts the word 'God' out of a dollar bill which suggests that he is religious.

The Art Of Film Design Throughout Cinema History
Oscar Fischinger gives serious thought in the relationship between the music and visual effects. Fischinger's practice of subordinating the visual rhythm to the audio was repeated in the motion graphics and title design.
From these two clips i can clearly see that the beat in the music makes something in the picture move. For example in the Monsters Inc sequence the doors are the main features that are moving to the beat. Also the doors position where the text is placed. In The Man With The Golden Arm the white stripes also positions where the text goes. These two title sequences are very similar in their styles.

The Art Of Film Title Design Throughout Cinema History
Homework:
From this article I have learnt that " Humorous phases of funny faces" was the first ever animated film, it was the first to feature an animate title opening. It was made in 1906 and directed by J.Stuart Blackton.- The big innovations of title animation and motion typography don't really emerge until well after the Second World War.
- Ralph Spence was the highest paid title writer in the industry, earning $10,000 a picture fro his one-liners.
- During the 1920s and 30's, European cinema was deeply influenced by modernism, Black letter fonts in the opening credits were used for horror, ribbons and flowery lettering suggested love, and typography that would have been used on 'wanted' posters would be for a western.
The True Birth Of A Title Sequence
- 1950s was the era in which the discipline of the film title sequence was actually born.
- Maurice Binder worked on the title designs of 14 films about the Agent 007, including the first episode "Dr.No". Binder created the famous gun-barrel sequence, which became the signature for the Bond series.

Doctor who title sequence
The title sequence shows a police box flying thorough what looks like a time portal or a black hole.This show the audience that the genre is science fiction. The police box is getting hit by lightning while it goes through the portal. The portal takes us on a kind of roller coaster ride with all of the different directions it keeps taking. The police box makes the audience feel as though we should follow it.Also from the way the police box is flying through the portal it gives the audience a clue that the genre is science fiction.The text is introduced by a strike of lightning and then it appears in the middle of the screen and then disappears by making the audience feel as though we are going into it. The font looks like it is made out of shiney steel look to it and it also has a kind of block solid feel to it. The title 'Doctor Who' is also in this style but there is a DH inbetween doctor who in the same of the police box.
The Inbetweeners Opening Title Sequence Analysis
One of the title sequences i have chosen to write about is TheInbetweeners. The reason for this is because it is differentfrom other title sequences i have researched.
This one has a cartoon effect and also it doesn't run smoothly like a flowing picture, it looks as though separate pictures have been taken to create a stop motion effect. It is also just in black and white although it dose flash brief colours. It is very simple and easy to follow or understand,it isn'ttoo long either. This title sequence just shows the four maincharacters in the show. There is a lot of movement going on with the backgrounds as the pattens keep changing and so do the characters. The background consists of stars/stripes and circles. Also the music beat goes with the changing of the characters really well. The music is high tempo and up beat witch makes if fun. The title sequence introduces eachcharacter separately and right at the end they come together along with the title of the show.
Continuity sequence
Continuity Sequence
The main features of our continuity sequence had to be somebody opening a door, someone walking across a room and a conversation between two people. one of the rules was to stay on the right side of the 180 degree line, which i think our group achieved. The conversation could be about anything so we chose Si Hin [who plays a girls]to say to Charlotte that he [she] was in love with her and that he was really a man. we tried to get the shocked reaction from Charlotte to get a dramatic effect although it was supposed to be funny as well.AS a group i think that we all worked well together as we have never worked with each other before.The only problem that we came across was that we didn't film the part whereCharlotte say "What!" properly or it wasn't uploaded properly to the computer. Another issue we had was the eye line. From where Charlotte and Si Hin were being filmed their eye linewasn't matching, so it looked as though they wasn't looking ateach other.we then had to film that again the next day.
