comparing opening sequences (The Shining and Se7en)

Hello, i looked at opening title sequences of "The Shining" and "Se7en" and compared them.

"The Shining" directed by Stanley Kubrick. The film was released in 1980 and starred Jack Nicholson, Shelly Duvall, Scatman Crothers and Danny Lloyd.

The opening sequence has a visually calming atmosphere with a large river with green mountains and little yellow car. The hold sequence we follow this little yellow car, never see any people but we guess the people in the car are the main characters as the camera has follows them. Or that the car takes us to where the story will be set. The mise en scene of the scene such as the car being little and yellow automatically makes the viewer think of something sweet, positive and the opposite of creepy.  You wouldn't expect anything bad from theses visuals alone. Then when you have the sound of sequence, it juxtaposes with the visuals. The sound starts with a low brass instrument which quickly makes listener feel uneasy. The sound throughout is low and uncomfortable to listen to. The sound make me feel slightly on edge and anxious, i felt like i was waiting for sometimes to happen. By these juxtaposition in the sequence it build the tension. The juxtaposed sound of this opening is what suggests the genre being a thriller. The sequence overall would make anybody feel on edgy if not uncomfortable.

And compare this to the movie "Se7en" directed by David Fincher. The film was released in 1995 and starred Morgan Freeman, Brat Pitt and John C. Mcginley and an Arnold Kopelson Productions. 

The opening sequences visuals such as blades being played with between someone thumbs, someone writing which was very close to together which suggest an obsessive mental state of the person writing. All these visuals are not comforting visuals to watch. We never see the character's face but we see what they are doing. There was key words that were being highlighted in the books such as "intercourse' and "fantasizing" as the camera would cut to a photo of a child with the pen drawn over the eyes. This automatically gives it a dark creepy atmosphere and let the audience wondering what this character has done or is going to do. The visuals all are cuts, flashes and faded in and out of the sequences. The visuals are harsh and do not flow through. My first reaction of the sequence make me have the idea of some sort of criminal behaviour.  Then plus the music is steady low beat with other scratching sounds and sounds of things being dropped and broken. The sounds left be feeling uncomfortable. It keeps the sequences thrilling and intact with the visuals we are seeing. We the visuals and sounds being disturbing it made me think the overall genre being some sort of crime thriller. 

Both sequences have unpleasant sounds, while "The Shinning" was more uneasy to listen to, 'Se7en" still was creepy and random and sounded like the sounds and music blended to what was happening in the opening which made the sequence more easy to watch as my brain could match up the visuals and sounds together which made it seem more predictable.The visuals were completely different as "The Shinning" looked peaceful, happy and calming while "Se7en" looked dangerous, unsafe and odd.  The Shining was had more of a simple visual overall but still brought a creep atmosphere, by the music which was so uncomfortable to listen to. Then when you prepare it to "Se7en" opening with loads of different cut and things happening in the scene they both made me feel uneasy. They both were some kinda of thriller by the suspense the music created but overall very different in the way sequences were created.
