Pre- Production: Kyle Cooper- What makes a good title sequence?

Kyle Cooper starts off by stating that a good title sequence 'dovetails' into the rest of the film; and he's right, any title sequence or film opening should do that. In se7en, his most famous opening title 

sequence, a short narrative or story almost, is told within, foreshadowing with the use of images and sound the type of film this is going to be. 

Cooper then goes on to say that a good title sequence also should grab the audience, making them want to forget everything else and be right in that moment. I think that this point is important- many a time have I been sat in a dark cinema, watching the opening to a film and readying my popcorn, when out of the corner of my eye T see another bright screen but on a smaller scale. That, to me, shows that the audience aren't being entertained, they aren't being grabbed and interested from the get go, which could set the tone for the film to come. Or that the person is a huge d***, and is just completely wasting money on being there. Either one.
Cooper also talks about his use of font in se7en's title sequence. This is another feature that adds to the following film's narrative, again foreshadowing the story to follow. The use of the handwritten font links to the fact that the serial killer writes all of these journals and diaries, and develops his own photographs in his bathroom- the use of font adds to the story, linking it all together; something I personally, think that good title sequences should do, and i think that Kyle Cooper would agree.
