We were inspired by the opening title sequence of 'Se7en''s use of cinematography for effect. 'Se7en''s emphasis seems to gravitate towards symbols in a book in the title sequence, which (because our film's main focus also situates around the power of witchcraft written in a book to cause disturbance in the equilibrium) we wanted to recreate. The font for the opening credits also flashes and flips across the screen, giving a distorted effect and already suggesting the type of convention of film. The text rapidly changes and shakes across the screen, and it was something we wanted to recreate in our title sequence. We use similar ideas therefore in our title sequences of rapidly changes images and shaking/flipping opening credits, in order to achieve the same effect.
In 'Fight Club', a scene is used where the camera blurs and shakes around the protagonist in order to create the effect of weirdness and isolation of the character . Because our protagonist is also seen in this way, wanted to use a blur effect in a similar way around the character in the opening scene, making him distant and dream-like.
Our character's personality and isolated behaviour was also based on protagonists from films such as 'Carrie' and 'We Need to Talk about Kevin' as previously mentioned.
