Se7en Title Intro

I recorded this intro with a capture card, i will upload it to youtube soon. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRKGxpHDtGg ]Although this intro is a lot longer than i am expecting to do mine, it uses a variety of different editing techniques to create an eerie feel, it also has so many different enigma codes but unless you watch this section after the film has finished, you won't really have a clue what is going on.

It uses a variety of different flashes, usually when the text is on show, the text has been set so it has a slight shutter to give it a bit of movement, also the text sometimes suddenly changes places on the screen for a very short amount of time, this creates the effect of confusion.

This intro uses very dark colours but also a bright red, this use of red i believe is supposed to symbolise blood, these colours add to the eerie feel that the editor was trying to create. The editor also decided to use a shallow focus whenever the character is shown, this creates a mystery because it completely blurs him/her out.

In a short clip n the intro where the main character is writing in his book, it does an overlap of two clips, they are both of the hand writing, but one is a few seconds ahead of the other so it creates a very eerie, supernatural feel.
