Se7en

The film Se7en was directed by David Fincher and was released in 1995. It is about two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, that hunt a serial killer who then uses the seven deadly sins as his modus operandi.

 
The opening for this is very fast moving and made me as the audience intrigued as to what was going on. It begins with a view of the seam of the book with the pages fanning over. This shot is all in black and white like in psycho, which creates a dulled out, cold effect. The beginning consists of diegetic sounds which match what is happening in the visuals.
 
The titles are presented on a black background, with white writing which makes up the titles. First with the production names, then the director, followed by actors.
 
My favourite part of the opening apart from it being fast paced, is the effects that have been used in the titles- i.e. them flashing and jolting about on the screen, with the action still occurring behind.
