The film se7en does follow some of the conventions of a title sequence. The reason why I have said this is because towards the middle of the title sequence for this film they have included another two actors and have put the credit for 'music' before 'costume'. This shows that not every film opening follow the order of what the conventions of a title sequence are suppose to be in.

The conventions of this title sequence has inspired us to create superimposed credits for our film opening, this is so it symbolises the unstable emotional state of the characters. The reason for this is because in a lot of physiological films they have their credits in a spooky type of font this is so it can relate to the genre and attract the audience.
