The document summarizes the title sequences of five films - Seven, Taking Lives, Fear Island, Identity, and an unnamed film. It analyzes elements like sound, cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing, and typography for each title sequence. For Seven, it notes the lack of music and use of diegetic city sounds, with mysterious music starting at the title. It uses medium and close-up shots, with dark lighting and rain setting a ominous tone. The title editing is slow and the handwritten typography fits the tone.

1. TITLE SEQUENCE
B Y K R I S T IAN

2. SEVEN (1995)
• Sound: Throughout the title sequence of Seven
there is no music and barely any diegetic sound.
Most of the noises you here are background noises
you would hear in a city centre for example car
horns, trucks driving by and people shouting. You
can only here them faintly when the actors are
talking but they really stick out when Morgan
Freeman’s character goes to sleep. When the title
starts showing then there is a mysterious music that
starts to play which fits with the movie genre
(Mystery, Thriller).

3. • Cinematography: There are mostly medium shots
(start of the movie) used so you have a clear shot of
who stands out and is important and there are also
some close ups used to focus on important items
like the ones Morgan Freemans character picks up
and pictures on the fridge. There are dark and low
key lighting to emphasis the crime genre and there
are always dark clouds and rain outside
foreshadowing something bad is going to happen.

4. • Editing: There are some shot reverse shots
throughout the conversations but, other than that
there are only straight cuts and one cut that is in
sync with the thunder striking. The title editing is slow
to fit with the music.
• Typography: The typography is handwritten which
gives a ruff edge to the words when they come up
on screen. The handwriting also fits well with the
music that is played and the un focused photos
that flash on the screen

5. TAKING LIVES (2004)
• Sound: The start of the movie starts off with happy
music playing the music plays on for quite a while as
nothing is happening except establishing the main
charterer. The music stops the second the car
breaks down and the music changes to more
sinister music. There aren’t any special sounds
exempt when the car breaks down there are more
sound then there should have been.

6. • Cinematography: The shot tell us a story of how the
character is insecure, but you can also see this buy
the close up of his face. The angle shot tells us the
characters are similar in a way. Because they are in
a confined area there are mostly medium shots
except when the car breaks down there is a long
shot to show that something is coming and is going
to happen.

7. • Mise en Scene: Mat is confident and happy to be
going where he wants to go, he seems happy to
have made a new friend and doesn’t mind being
on the run. Martin on the other hand is insecure and
wants to keep to himself after a while when they
get to know each other he becomes more open
and secure until he know he has to kill him.

8. • Editing: There are only cuts that are going at a slow
pace because the characters are just getting to
know each other and there isn’t anything special or
fast pace going on.
• Typography: The title sequence consists of a
montage with a type writer writing the names of the
actors. Other than that there is nothing special
about the title sequence.

9. FEAR ISLAND
• Sound: The sounds are very intense in the first few
shots, there is heavy breathing along with shouting
police officers and fast pace drums. There is fast
pace music playing until she gets caught the
sounds dim down.

10. • Cinematography: They use POV shots as she is
running through the woods as well as long shots
when she runes through the woods. There are more
POVs as the police get closer. There is an extreme
close up of the knife in her hand. There are also
long shots of her hiding and by the way her body
language is she doesn’t know what’s going on.

11. • Mise en Scene: On the island she is either running or
crouched down as if she was protecting herself
from something and the knife in her hand is focused
on but the way she looks she is in shock and doesn’t
know she has a knife. The Doctors is strong and
stands up for herself while the maverick cop is
annoyed and angry.

12. • Editing: There is a fast pace editing whenever she is
in the woods and it fades to black when the police
capture her. Through the woods there is a montage
skipping back and forth from when she is hiding and
when she is running.
• Typography: The font fits with the island theme and
the way you can see the grass sway in the
background of the fonts fits with the island and so
does the way the text disappears as if the water
washes it away.

13. IDENTITY (2003)
• Sound: The movie starts off with the sound of
thunder and a voice over of the tape being re
winded. There is a faint soft music playing over as
the recorder plays over the interview.
• Cinematography: There is extreme close ups of the
files and papers laying across the desk. There is also
a bird’s eye view of his desk as it pans over the files.

14. • Mise en Scene: The Doctor sits there in silence
listening to the tape while looking over the files. His
facial expression is plane and concentrated.
• Editing: As the doctor rewinds of speeds up the
tape there are fast paces of editing until he stops
speeding it up it continues to pan across the files
until the next time he speeds it up.
• Typography: There is a montage of names popping
up on the screen and the names fade leaving one
letter to fade last until the faded letters spell the
tittle name.
