Title research

These are images of the titles from the opening sequence of the film Se7en. I personally like the way this title has been presented because I believe that the overlaid, handwritten style adds emphasis on the 'horror' aspect of the film and is perhaps even symbolic to the rough, gritty nature of the film. I believe that the way they have layered the titles over certain shots gives emphasis on the 'horror' aspect of this film because it portrays insanity, and gives the sequence quite a disturbing feeling to it. This gives the audience a sense of suspense and curiosity throughout the opening sequence, using the titles alone. It leaves their mind to wonder what disturbing experience they will be in for. The idea of portraying the nature of the film within the titles has influenced me. I will take on board the way they have portrayed a dark, and disturbed feeling with their font choices when I begin to create my own titles.

These are images of the titles in the opening sequence of the film The Conjuring. I like the way they titles have been merged with the shot that is being shown on the screen, for example, they use newspaper articles to include titles such as who the film was written by. I feel as though this gives the opening sequence a more realistic feel, The shots they have decided to layer the titles upon are all based upon photographs and newspaper articles. I think this is a clever way of introducing the film throughout the title sequence. Although I am fond of how they have used their opening sequence and title sequence together, I don't personally like the font they have used for their titles. I think that the font is very simple, and gives no emotion therefore draws away from the emphasis on the horror, and chaotic aspect of the film. I am inspired by their use of incorporating titles with shots, and I hope to experiment with this technique.
