Se7en Opening Title Sequence

Se7en - Opening Title Sequence


Puts recognizable names early on in the title sequence. Can tell this movie is a contrast from films Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow usually feature in.

Editing: Many short unclear images. Mash-up like sequence of scratched frames and fuzzed up glitchy graphics.

Sound: Chainsaw like sounds. Sounds of raw/metal machinery. Heard to tell at times whether it was someone crying/screaming or if it was the high pitched machinery. Unsettling sounds makes the watcher feel uncomfortable and ideas of murders to come are obvious.

Camera: Primarily all close up shots. This adds to the intensity. It helps make the images more unclear and therefore more mysterious. No facial shots. Creates atmosphere that we are watching over the works of a crazy person/murderer. 

Mise en Scene:Very dark and unsettling. Random contrasting possessions such as notepads, books, images of children, money (dollar notes). Pages of writing in a notepads brings ideas of a crazy person or someone who is obsessed with a project. Mysterious atmosphere. 

Conclusion: Possibly about a murderer or a murder mystery?
