Fincher's Main Titles

Posted by: FincherFanatic
A fan of Fincher by definition will be a fan of well-done, we-conceived main title sequences. Whether you look at the stylish, psychopathic titles of "Se7en", the flight through the synapsis universe in "Fight Club" or the indelible floating names in "Panic Room", Fincher's titles are way more than pretty graphics: They are visually stunning, they set a tone... and mostly they cleverly introduce their audience into the narrative.

The New York based Museum of the Moving Image takes you down the rabbit hole, by means of a thorough analysis of four of David Fincher's main title sequences, including Alien 3 and Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac.

Certainly a great deal for film analysts and up-and-coming filmmakers. And every Fincher fanatic will profit from seeing what they already liked with an added layer of appreciation.

Enjoy!

    The one on 'Zodiac' is fairly interesting. Although its nothing to do with titles. It's an analysis of the first sequence of the movie.

    Very interesting film analysis! Can anyone explain why they inserted the underwater shot of people's legs in the Zodiac analysis?

    In simple terms, they both show the killer's/letter's perspective over it's clueless soon to be victims/receptors.
