Genre Research Summary

The title sequences I researched were both very gloomy with black backgrounds and other simple, plain colours, the fonts were specialised to match the film title and had a font of its own. The pace of both the title sequences are both slow. In the clips that I've used, they both use non-diegetic sounds. "The Thing"had some 'techno' music behind it and the odd non diegetic sound every now and again. There are no characters shown in either of the title sequences, there's a lot of extreme close ups of various images, with focus pulls as the transitions. In "Se7en" you don't see any of the room around, its just a lot of extreme close ups of what the persona in the the sequence is doing with his hands and various objects around him. in this the lightings quite natural if not a bit dim.The editing in both texts is incredable, theres alot of cuts from one image to another whether it's a still image or a moving one. No Costume was used in either of these sequences becuase no body part other than a hand or 2 was shown. In "Se7en" some props were used when we see the man making some sort of diary or scrap book. There are lots of extreme close ups in both seqiences, in se7en it was to create intensity and in the thing the extreme clsoe ups were there to create a mystery as they were so extreme the image became unclear as to what the object was. This added a good effect to the text becuase it went well with the genre and kept me wondering after, and made me want to watch the rest of the film.
