The opening sequence can tell us a lot of information about
the film, in the first two minutes of the title sequence it can tell us a lot
about the film and its main (villain) character. We can tell the film is a
thriller just from the black backdrop of the film and the quick flashes of
clips of very sinister and creepy scenes. We can see someone peeling skin off
of their fingers with a razor blade; this suggests that whoever those fingers
are he’s our main (villain) character and it suggests he is going to do
something against the law very evil and cryptic doings.
We can see the names of the directors, the movie studios,
the producers and the actors names all of the writing is in a cryptic and
almost scary, all it seems to me in a similar style of text to ‘The Blair Witch
Project’ which tells the audience that the film defiantly has a cryptic message
and a scary outcome in the end.
We can see a lot of sequences flashing on the screen in the
title that all show a lot of old pictures and books this shows us a place of
study and almost religious worship for this … killer, the pictures that flash
up through the sequence of pure evil and most likely his/her victims but the
way they show up we can almost affiliate or associate them with someone’s life
flashing before our eyes. We can also associate the state of the books and
pictures with the ruined lives of the victims with our main villain’s actions.
We can see from all of the title sequence alone the film is
aiming to disorientate and prepare the audience for what is going to happen in
the movie, we see someone cutting the word ‘God’ from the phrase 'In God We Trust' from the dollar bill we can assume that our villain assumes he is doing the work of 'God' and he is carrying out the lords work by killing people.
For committing 'the Seven Deadly Sins'...
