Title design research: (thriller)

 Me and my group are researching many opening sequences from thriller films. Me and group need to research these because it will help us reach our full potential for our title in our thriller film. One of the thriller films we are researching is, Se7en. 


1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequence of Se7en? Which Ones?

 There are eight titles displayed during the opening sequence. The first title was the name of the studio which was "New Line Cinema." The second title was the name of the production company which is "An Arnold Kopelson Production". The third title was the actors which include: Brad Pitt, and Morgan Freeman. The fourth title was the film title which is "Se7en". The fifth title was the music which was by Howard Shore. The sixth title was who it was edited by which is Richard Francis -Bruce. The seventh title was who written by which was Andrew Kevin Walker. The eighth title was who directed it which was David Fincher.

2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do they make you feel)

The images carry a very specific connation. The images are very thrilling. There is a man who is clearing the dead skin off his fingers. This makes me want to know what it gonna happen, and makes me want to watch the film.

3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is)

The genre is greatly reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset. And it very obvious to tell what genre Se7en is. One of the symbols was a book with black highlighter which does not show some of the words. This gives the audience a feel of suspense and makes them want to know why they crossed out some of the words. This really gives the idea that there is mystery and crime, and it is going to be a thriller.

4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

There are many conventions used to ensure appeals to its audience which is people who like thriller films. The first convention is the sound track. The sound is very spooky and mysterious and gives off a very thrilling vibe. Another convention is the camera angles The camera angle is very high. The last convention is the props used. Props such as the tool used by the man to cut off his dead skin was very creepy and it was in a dark room. This helps bring suspense and helps the target audience know that the film will be a thriller.

Common Angles: There are many different angles that are widely used in the comedy genre. To start, commonly extreme close ups as well as close up shots are used. These shots are usually shown to help the audience understand or grasp on the humor portrayed by facial expressions, and reactions from the subjects on the film. Furthermore, other angles are widely seen in comedy, like wide shots. Wide shots are used mainly to fit a large gathering into one shot, and by doing this it opens the door to group comedy, and other characters to fit into the scene or story play. Finally, the last common camera angle that we see a lot in this genre is eyeline shots. An eyeline shot in comedy is the subjects way to often tell the audience directly, the joke or line being said.
