There are 27 titles. They are titled with the production company first to give it a sense of being an official film. After that there is the title of the film so the audience know what they are watching. Most importantly there are the names of the actors, the first one starts with Toby Maguire ( the main character of the film). This makes the viewer want to keep watching because it has a big star in the name and it means the film is more likely to be good. After that it has more actors in it to show the other lead roles and the supporting actors. Then it goes through all of the different producers and directors who might not be that well known but still have a vital role. Lastly, the main director is at the end of spiderman 2. This confirms to the viewer that it is worth watching and gives the director a sense of importance as he is the one shows right before the film starts.

The two title sequences are very similar in the sense of layout. As well as spiderman, Se7en also starts with the production company then goes on to list it's main actors (which are normally high profile).  They both then go on to show the different producers and directors. The only thing that sets them apart from each other is that the director of the film of spiderman is at the end whilst in se7en the director is near the beginning.

I think that se7en was more effective for a thriller genre because it had a darker theme then spiderman which gives off the thriller aspect a lot more. There was a lot more darker colours and the background images fit the theme a lot better.

They both fit the themes within the context of the theme (for example the colour scheme being red to suit spiderman's suit) but for the actual thriller aspect Se7en have darker colours, pictures and font that suit a thriller genre.
