For this task, we had to create an opening sequence timeline for the film "Se7en". The timeline would include the timings of the names that appears on the screen.
In the opening sequence, the first names that are shown are the most important, such as the film company, Producer and Director. The Producer and and director's importance is emphasised even more due to the fact that their names are repeated at the end of the titles. The first actor that is shown is the main actor "Brad Pitt" and followed by the second main character "Morgan Freeman".
The Title of the film is then shown but only for a brief moment.
Names of actors and actresses are shown continuously from 0:30 to 1:03 then followed by a the casters, music editors, Costume designers, Editors, Production Designers, Directors of photography and co- producers. This supports the idea that order of names is based on the hierarchy of the film industry. The least important people are shown further into the opening sequence except from the Director and Producer who are repeated.
Style of font
- Credits - mainly blocked letters except for actor names
- Gothic writing for actor names
- White font which contrast with the black background and pictures
Movement of font
- Fading in from different parts of the screen as well as sharp movements whilst on screen
- Electrical effect when credits appear on screen
- Layered style of words (illusion/seeing double)
