Seven

In class we recently looked at a thriller called SEVEN

Here is the opening title sequence



The opening scene of Seven creates a lot of suspense. During the title sequence, there is creepy music playing in the background, and it quite dark and scary and draws in the audience with its slow bass. As the music is playing, the scene is going on. The scene is of an unknown person who we see doing all sorts of different things. it shows pictures of a diary which he is writing, and lots of different pictures that look hand drawn. These pictures create a lot of suspense as they are not normal and raises many questions, such as 'What is this person doing?' and it draws in the audience. It also builds up the character to be strange so the audience would want to see his face and learn about him and what he is trying to do. Also in the opening sequence of this film, the colours are very limited. The main colours are very dark and mysterious, such as blacks, browns and some orange and red, which i think is also effective because red is a sign of danger. On the whole, the title sequence of Seven creates a dark, disturbing and cold atmosphere.
