Analysis of contemporary titles/opening vs older titles/opening

Title/Opening sequences have changed throughout time, with all the new technology that is being introduced recording films will also change. I'm going to talk about the differences from a modern day title and an olden day title.



se7en: David Fincher (1995)

 






In both of these opening scenes you can see the differences technology could make because se7en starts off with rock music and the the images the audiences can see are all xrays of hands and the audience can also see the characters fingers and how he is picking all the skin off his hands. however in Dr strangelove, the scene starts off with calm and relaxing music but the audience are only shown 2 planes flying through the air.
when we can see the directors name and the actors name in se7en, you can see the effect they have used when editing the film to make sure the names disappear at a certain time and also the font they are using shows what genre the film will be even with the music which helps identify the genre.
However in Dr strangelove the font and effects are different like in se7en, the directors name and actors name are all in one font and the placing of the names are all in the same place. with the actors names they are all squashed together but in se7en they are all on different clips/scenes.

Lastly the timing of the sequences, se7en is 2.07 because they have more to put in then Dr strangelove meaning the technology they have now has a big difference because they can input more things than before.
