Se7en opening scene analysis

PART FIVE

Se7en opening sequence

• The music creates suspense
• The sound effects set the mood for the film
• The audience want to know more
• Not much is given away
• The camera shots are handheld
• The Camera angle is not completely straight
• The lighting is dark
• The camera is slightly out of focus
• The Most of the shots are extreme close ups

All of these above acknowledgements Connote something. The fact that the camera is handheld, close up and out of focus makes the audience feel disorientation and gives an unusual, suspicious and eery effect. This helps to create the mood.
