Font and colour scheme for our title sequence.

Se7en:
The font for this film is:

The style looks as if someone has written the writing with jerks and it also looks like who ever has written it has gone over the writing several times possibly for effect or that the first few times it hasn't come out as clear as the writer would have liked e.g. a wall by possibly a psycho as the genre is a thriller. The colour of the font is white as the back ground is black. 
The colour black is generally a symbol of evil, falsehood, error, grief, despair and death. This is in contrast with the colour white which generally symbolizes purity, truth, innocence and hope.
This reflects the film as the story line is about a killer who uses the 7 deadly sins from the bible to kill off his victims. The black is showing the evil, grief, despair and death whereas the white is reflecting the 2 police men who are trying to solve the case; they are giving the people hope that no one else will be hurt and that the killer will be found and brought to justice and off the streets. 


************************************************************************************

As the colour pink is a symbol for being affectionate, compassionate and romantic and the colour black means grief, death and despair, the title cover could have a pink sky from a sunset, with black trees in silhouette to show that Anna wants to be affectionate and romantic towards Cameron but as he doesn't even know she exists, he can't and then as she dies by his fault and doesn't even notice, she wants revenge and to make his life hell which some people could describe as evil which is also symbolized by black. 
One image that i thought would be good to show this is:


The sun in the middle of the tree branches can show the hope that someday he'll notice her. The writing could be in white writing on the top right hand corner in the darkest branches of the trees.
