Foundation Studio - City In Flux - Se7en Production

I came across the opening titles for the film Se7en; they are quite interesting due to all the detail that has been put in to the scenes and then if you rewind to the making stage you can see that a lot of time and effort has gone in to the titles to make to it fit so perfectly with the brief. 

Below is a section of the finished opening titles:

This opening title sequence reminds me of work associated with the postmodernist movement due to the style of typeface that has been used. The scribble hand written type has a strong resemblance to the work of David Carson; I'm familiar with his work already through a strong interest in his work. 

These opening titles will influence my work greatly as I love the typography that has been used within this piece and how they a changing and moving. Also in sections there is lots of typography which could relate to information overload. As well as looking at the typography in this piece, I'm also intrigued by the textures that have been created and how they have been used to influence the audience to a way of thinking about the film and what it will be like and about.
