Inspiration of opening scene?

Seven and Buried

Both Seven and Buried films used really interesting title movements.

Buried used really interesting techniques.

However, there was one key idea which really inspired me. The titles in buried moved up the shot, firstly by word, and then by letter.

This was an inspiring concept, because the title movements emphasis the concept of the movie. I felt like the idea of the title rising suggested the depth the person was buried and I felt that was a great way to introduce the movie storyline.

Finally, Seven also a very engaging opening title scene. 

The type of writing looked as if had been scratched on to the shot. It also shook. I think this created feelings of panic.

Also, the writing was childlike and therefore suggests innocence of the victim or vulnerability adding to the effect on the audience.

Finally, I like how it was black on white. This created a dark and gloomy atmosphere.
