I've analysed the title sequence of the film 'Se7en'.
The way the title sequence jumps between different scenes and shots makes it seem jittery and jumpy, to add to the horror/thriller aspect of it and to make it seem more scary and thrilling. Because the shots are more or less from the characters point of view, the jumpy effect makes it seem as though the person has something wrong with them e.g. insanity.
It's not clear what the title sequence is trying to show as you only get small glimpses of gory stuff such as blood and razors. The fact that the images and scenes of close up objects adds to the mystery as you can't tell what most of the things are.
It is quite obvious that the scene that it is cutting between is of a particular person making a sort of scrap book. The colours are very muted, with only the flashes of red standing out to obviously signify blood.

I like the fact you cant fully tell what the character is doing as it keeps it a mystery to the viewer, which adds to the general theme of a thriller. I think this would be interesting to incorporate into our own title sequence because it makes it more of a mystery.
