SE7EN

Se7en (1995)  is a thrilling crime drama that follows two homicide detectives they follow a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins to justify killing 'sinners' for their deeds. The cinematography is exceptional throughout. There were carefully thought out angles containing hidden clues as well as skillful shot chase scene across the unique terrain of a rooftop, in the rain. Although the camera work was very impressive the title sequence is what caught my attention; the appearance of the ' messy hand written' font used for the titles creates a messy, distorted aesthetic which is contradictory to the theme of the movie as the serial killer is an organised, overbearing character. Alternatively it could portray his twisted wry mind, in the same way we wanted to use a font that gave a font that was unconventional, with the aesthetic of being handwriting to create a edgy disorderly impression. This will reflects the patients mind and emotion which is why we wanted to find a font similar to 'Se7en' to use for our title sequence. 

Eventually we found a font which is relatively close match to the movie's and we decided to put it in white to create a clinical ambience that connects to the theme of the mental asylum.
