Title sequences

In this post i am going to be analyzing three title sequences on the website The Art Of The Title which has a huge range of title sequences i am in particularly going to be analyzing title sequences from thrillers.


Dial For Murder

This Thriller's presented by an international famous production company called Warner Bros Pictures which was released in 1954. The main character of this thriller's name shows at the start of this opening sequence which is a man known for thrillers which is Alfred Hitchcock in a font fit for a thriller of horror in a orange red color this is effective to me and grabs my attention due to the fact the main staring character is so known for the sucsess that he has had in thrillers gives away that it is going to be a good production. The font also attracts me due to the fact of how original for a thriller it is and everyone likes a classic. The phone shown in the title sequence also made me very curious towards what and how it will link to the actual movie this was very creative due to the name of the film being 'Dial For Murder'.

The Game 1997

This director of the film is David Fincher. When the title and logo of this film companies production is being shown its very creative due to the fact there are pieces of jigsaw puzzle coming apart on the screen this is very affective to the audience as the name of the film is called 'the game' this links to the jigsaw puzzle and as the audience gives an idea that it going to be a guessing game on were the puzzles fit this gets the audiences full attention making them really curious. The sound of the piano builds suspense and makes the audience feel on edge this gets the audiences attention informing them that something is going to happen.


Finally another film directed by David Flincher which i am going to be discussing is Se7en





The first thing i notice of this title sequence is close ups and extreme close ups of certain features and objects some disturbing for example the first shot of dirty hands which freaks the audience out on top of the the extreme close ups of the fingers and blade makes makes the audience focused and confused on what is going to happen this is very creative how in the middle of these images the credits of the people included in this film pop up making their names more noticeable and stand out and makes it seem more of a horror.
