Title Sequence Comparison

Differences
Se7en:

  • Lighting is dim throughout
  • White writing-stands out
  • Writing glitches-nerve wrecking feel
  • Story is shown throughout with specific actions (mugshots, cutting of film)
  • Music from beginning to end 
  • Music fades out
  • Physical action

Hard Candy
  • Bright white background with occasional red boxes 
  • Black writing-contrasting
  • No physical action
  • Music is not from the beginning to end
  • Music is a sudden stop
  • No story is shared throughout 
More effective for thriller genre:
Se7en is more effective for a thriller genre as the features such a dim lighting give a sense of mystery and suspicion to the film. The fragmented titles provide and uneasy feel for the viewer, which do not represent a happy sense. The story told in the background reflects a violent, horrific storyline which adds to the thriller genre, along with this the music that accompanies the sequence is nerve wrecking and dark to create a tense atmosphere.
