Opening Credits

The purpose of film credits is so the audience knows who the actors are and who everyone is in the film such as the director and other things. Film credits also help the audience to get a pre-judgmental guess on what sort of genre the film will be, due to font etc.

Opening to se7en;

The colours used are all dark mostly black and white with some red intwined suggested blood and murder.
The style of the credits are thin font and flickery, occasionally getting bigger and are emphasised this suggests an act of building of suspense and horror. The generic conventions of the thriller are that of the use of dark imaging, the enigma behind who the man is in the credits and the diagetic sound when the pen is writing or highlighting all links and creates an eery setting along with the background tracking music which is slow and spooky, all tying together making the conventions of a thriller film.

The sixth sense opening scene

The background music behind the opening credits is slow and has a good effect to build suspense and ere. The font used is white against a black background and flickers occasionally this is conventional as it is bold and you can see what it is, the flickering is included to create suspense and will also draw the audiences attention to who's name it is which is a good trick so they know who is in the film and what sort of genre the film is if they don't already know. The writing will also occasionally smudge which is a good effect to create suspense, another thing is the diagetic sound as when a name comes up a typing sound will start as if the opening credits were being tyepwrited which is a spooky image.

This will be the font we will be using as it looks spooky and would match our narrative for our opening scene. And the faded effect on the font would also look significant of a ghost. We had also chosen this particular font as we felt it was completely relative to thriller films and with the effect on the font the audience may get a clue of what type of genre the film is and what the villain may be.
