Film titles


This title is for the film se7en, the writing looks 'slap-dash' as if its been encrypted onto the background. The letters look like they’re not finished or broken; suggesting something or someone in the film is represented in this way. The background is dark suggesting a sense of space and loneliness, to the viewer as if they are alone and nothing is there to save them. The word has a shadow make the letters seem like they have been printed many times to suggest that the plot line of the film has happened many times or is being repeated, maybe the characters are repeating the same thing over and over. The letter 'v' has been replaced with the number '7' this possibly is to emphasise the time, that whatever is going to happen will happen seven times and no more, at a glance the word reads 'seven' like normal but once you take a better look it becomes clear that it looks and sounds different, but the way it has replaced without people noticing may read into the film as though the happenings and the story line is taking place without people noticing. I think the title for se7en is effective as it gives clues to the film about the seven repetitions.

This is the title for the film The Hunter it is minimalistic suggesting that the film may use simple techniques to create suspense and other mediums of the thriller genre. the writing is clear in white against a black background, this use of white and black is represented as good and evil, meaning 'the hunter' is represented as good but the surroundings and happenings are bad. The scale of black around the spaced white letters may suggest there is no escape from the dark black background and 'The Hunter' is small compared to the evil it is faced against. The Hunter letters are simplistic and use a readable font with no fancy lettering, exactly in the middle of the picture signifying that this is the topic of the film and that there is little around to refer to through the film. I think this title is simple and to the point, creating suspense for the viewer as there is no further indication to the film or what you are about to watch.
