Opening Title Sequence Of Seven By Kyle Cooper

Kyle Cooper is a modern designer of motion picture title sequences and he studied graphic design at Yale university. He got his inspiration from Saul Bass, and follows in Saul Bass's foot prints. Kyle Cooper is an award winning, modern film maker who specialises in the production of opening titles, and has produced and directed over 100 different title sequences in his lifetime so far. He wrote many films such as Spider Man, Se7en, Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes and lots more.  Cooper worked at an advertising agency with offices in New York and Los Angeles. During this period, he created the title sequence for the 1995 film Se7en. I looked at the website Art Of The Title which breaks down films into snippets of the opening title scene to highlight the creativity and design put into it. 

Se7en is a psychological thriller film, which also contains horror and neo-noir elements that makes the film memorable. The director uses close up shots in the whole of the opening scene, maybe so that he doesn't reveal what the character is actually like. By the director choosing to only focus on the arms he is making the audience want to watch the rest of it to find out what the character is really like. We learn that the guy in the film is quite twisted and weird as he is shaving his finger. The film is about the se7en deadly sins gluttony, envy, lust, pride, sloth, greed and wrath. The titles and the directors names are always flashing on and quite jerky which keeps the audience interested and it could represent the characters life and what he is feeling like. The words are always moving which could also represent the movement of his life.
