SE7EN Timeline

I broke down the opening credits of SE7EN in to a timeline, to make each part easier to evaluate. There is a screenshot, time and short description for every appearance of text.

During class time we were introduced to the idea of opening credits of Se7en, which I have deconstructed and have made a timeline for, showing all the times there are names and roles of people involved in the production of the film.

Conclusion

I found that being introduced to a good opening credit sequence, gave our group the opportunity to consider another option that we could do for our group practical filming. I learnt that as long as we use appropriate roles and titles, effective motifs and editing that relates to our genre, we can achieve a successful opening title sequence. 

               

     

SE7EN Timeline

I created a timeline of the opening sequence of SE7EN. This included the times of when text appeared and what the text said. This enabled me to see what order the names of certain people involved in the production appeared so that we can use a similar order in our project.






Overall, I learnt that the names only appeared once and only specific roles were shown including:

• Who the music/casting/editing was done by
• Costume creator
• Production designer
• Directors
• Producers
• Writers

Therefore, because there are only four people in my group we may have to create names to fit all the different roles so that everyone's name only appears once.
