The art of a title squence

The art of a title sequence is the way in which he opening of a film is set. When someone intends to create a title sequence, they have to consider the features that effect the way a title sequence is created. These factors are dependent on the typography; this includes the background, sound used, style of text and the meaning and feeling that is being portrayed through he opening. The art of a title sequence is especially important when creating a thriller film.
Below, within our group, we have analysed a few thriller openings in reference to the at of a title sequence; this has helped us and given us a better understanding overall of how the openings are edited and altered to create a certain effect for the audience.

Se7en- 1995
The typography used in this film is hand sketched in quite a rough and uncomfortable way. This style of text is used to add a layer of temporal distress. 
The sound used starts of slow and eerie building a sense of suspense, slowly the sound turns electric becoming more uncomfortable.
The use of flashing images portrays a disturbing feeling.
To conclude the opening scene introduces the themes of hopelessness, apathy, desperation and violence.


Ernest Scared Stupid- 1991
This film is a mix of physical comedy, puns and reference to classical films (during the opening scene)

The typography used is very colorful yet has an element of thriller by the blood dripping down. 
This gives the feel of a comical thriller.

The imagery used connotes that the film is like an old style haunted house type of film. However in 1991 this type of film may have been considered scary but at present it wouldn't be considered scary because as an audience we have become desensitised to that type of sub genre and makes us laugh more than anything.

The sound used also adds to the art of the title sequence because it starts of with the sort of Dracula horror then gradually has a comical element added to it.
