Opening Credits-Miss Georgiou
The purpose of opening credits in any films is to give the audience the people who are in the films (the actors) and the director who has directed the film also normally the most famous actors will be the starting credits also opening credits can establish the genre of the specific film. The music added within the credit segment build up a considerable amount of suspense and experiences a contrast between good and evil.
The opening credits in the film Seven are very consistent with the white credits this creates a certain level of enigma and the white credits stand out with the dark background and the seems to be handwritten jerky credits which symbolises fear for the audience. Also the creepy high pitched music within the opening to Seven is very quick which creates dramatic excitement for the audience. Also the in sync music and the credits at the same time creates a impressive effect for the audience as its a fantastic way to put the credits across to the audience. The credits of Seven also display the quick jerky credits that we as a group feel would benefit our thriller sequence if we influenced this within our own thriller film as this can create numerous different effects for the audience for example an anxiety and uneasy effect for the audience.
The other film I analysed within the thriller genre is Hannibal and from right at the start of the opening credits from this film is displays the use of red which is widely known to represent blood or murder within the thriller genre. Also Hannibal's opening credits are black and white bold credits distinguishes the difference between the killer and the victim. The Hannibal credits are also quite shaky and this displays the sense of fear as you can see the shaky footage from the credits.
Following the group discussion we feel it's best to have bold handwritten font as it creates mystery towards the start of the sequence. The colour of the opening credits will be in a dark red font as it represents blood which is a key theme towards the end of our thriller sequence also it represents danger. The red colour font will extremely stand out when the victims credit appears on the scene as it can show a clear representation of the victim to the audience.

This post demonstrates some understanding of why opening credits, are essential to include within a production. You have analysed the credits from Se7en well, but you need to relate your points back to the conventions of a thriller film in further detail and discuss the audience relationship, to demonstrate further understanding.
ReplyDeleteWithin this post, you also need to expand on the points that you have included, for your second analysis and consider the purpose of credits in further detail.
Also consider what your credits will say and what they will look like. What fonts/styles are your selected to include and why? What colours and effects will you include and why?
