2) Font

The font for this films fits well with the theme as it is very futuristic and simple. It is white against the background of the sequence which enables it to stand out well. (unsure of the fonts name)

3) How we see the font

The font enters onto the screen very quick and dramatically, usually places where there isn't any important features in the sequence. The words enter separate then combine when at the right position, again this makes it look more futuristic and robotic.

4) Behind the font

Behind the font we are able to see immediately mental machinery all coming together simultaneously. The sound is combined with both instruments and equipment noised. The instrument start of very slow and relaxing but as the sequences shows more of the machine being created the temp increases vastly coming to a hold at the end. Meanwhile the sound of equipment making this machine is continuous.

5) I picked this title sequence because i enjoyed the film a lot and i feel that the introduction for it is a vital part of the story. It produced a great amount of suspense and awe when leading to the final product.

2) Font

The handwritten font used in this title sequence was chosen specifically to symbolise the serial killer in the film, as he writes down all his notes in a diary.

3) How we see the font

The titles are very jumpy and if though he scratched the writing in himself. This sets an eerie tone for the rest of the film.

4) Behind the font

Behind the font, the scene uses a lot of jump cuts. This may be because they want it to reflect the serial kills mind being very jumpy and hazy.
