TITLE ANALYSIS

SE7EN

According to the codes and conventions of the title sequence, the producer’s name appears first.

The directors name appears next, but the conventions of titles would normally have the director’s credit as the last credit.

Next, the stars of the film appears. The main characters names are shown.

This is followed by the title of the film.

The names of the
supporting cast is then shown.

Followed by the crew.

The director’s name is then shown again.

PANIC ROOM is very conventional as it shows the title sequence chronologically which is almost similar to SE7EN.
The first thing that appears on the screen is the producer’s name.

Followed by the main characters.

Then the title of the film is shown.

Followed by the supporting cast.

Then the crew and director’s name is shown at the end.

Unlike SE7EN and PANIC ROOM, CHILDREN OF MEN subvert the codes and conventions of title sequence as at the beginning the producer’s name is shown but then the story line is established.

Followed by the title of the film, however nothing is shown after that suggesting that the director wanted to engage the audience into the plot immediately which means that the director’s name, actors, supporting cast, and crews name is shown at the end of the film (the credits).
