In the last few lessons we have been looking at titling and how it can create a real atmosphere and idea for what the film is about. A viewer can have a good idea if what the film is about, the genre and the plot through the titling. And if its really good they can sometimes guess what then characters would be like. In class we looked at David Fincher's 'Se7en', Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' and Martin Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver'. We were concentrating on mostly the titlings and when and what times people like the prducers, directors, actors etc were introduced into te film through the titlings.

The opening Credits to Se7en Consist of very eerie writting, which flashes a few times before it appears clearly, all of the titling is placed over a black and White clip, which shows a number of small clips, from close ups of small sharp knives, the chopping of fingerprints, newpaper articles, passport size photos of people which are then coloured in, and from what it looks like it all takes place with in a lab like room. For me the opening cretids of the film work really well and deffinitely set the atmosphere, and make you want to watch on, The Film Se7en is about two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his modus operandi.
