Task 5 - Kyle Cooper Title Sequence

 Affective Title Sequences - Kyle Cooper

Kyle Cooper believes that a good title sequence should remain consistent throughout so that the adueince are interested thoughout the whole movie. In addition, he thinks titles should contain some hints as to what the film is about to give some information to the viewers.  Cooper also states that attention grabbing title sequences work well as these make the audience feel eeger to watch the movie makes them want to keep watching. High contrast can also add to the film and intrigue audiences. Cooper says that the font used is very important as it adds to the tone. Moreover,  having good typography that integrates with the background is also significant to achieve a good title sequence.

 An example of an effective title sequence is Kyle Cooper's movie 'Seven', in which there is no dialogue but a sense of an eerie atmosphere which is established through the sinister music soundtrack in the background. This seems to foreshadow horrific events as there are visuals of tortue and murder playing in such a dark setting. This is effective as it is only the close-up of the hands that we are seeing. The camera movement also seems to be moving quickly out of the cage-which seems to symbolise rule breaking of some sort. As a result,this intrigues the audience because little clues are given but not so much so that the audience is eager to finish the whole movie.
