Title Sequence Research

For our title sequence, we want the font to be handwritten to reflect on the use of the diary. An example of titles which we have looked are in David Fincher's 'Se7en'.





The titles on this clip are in a handwritten font. They have rigid movement and fit with the genre of the film which is a thriller. The titles indicate the genre of the film quite early on. They also infer that something unusual will happen in the film as the images used are a series of extreme close-ups on fingers, mechanical objects as well as photos. As a group, we admire the use of extreme close-close ups as we plan to use them in our film. The close-ups of someone writing in a book allowed us to see what the shot would look like when we used it ourselves. 


We will create our titles in Final Cut Express as there is a lot more we can do with them in terms of movement of the titles, in comparison with programmes such as LiveType.
