Research Into Film Titles

There are many different films titles which are  used in the opening sequences of the thriller genre. One example is 'The Missing' opening sequence title. The title sequence used in 'The Missing' goes against the conventions of a thriller title sequence. The sequence starts with a white background and the title appears in the centre of the background in plain black writing. There is white noise behind the end title. This is different to most thriller openings because they have used a white background and a dark font colour, when most thrillers would use dark colours to symbolizes their thriller. 'The Missing' title has used a plain font style which is also different to many other thriller titles. The title comes up at the end of the the title sequence. 

Another film which makes good use of titles is 'Se7en'. They use a typical thriller theme towards their title sequence. The title 'Se7en' comes up at the end of the title sequence. At the start of the title sequence they show credit to the actors and directors who made the will. They show these names in the same font as the main title. While they are show the titles different images appear in the background. They do this to create enigma codes. They show close ups of different objects to create enigma codes and make the audience question what it is. They use a creepy and ominous theme to set the mood in this title sequence in this thriller.
