SE7EN TITLE SEQUENCE

Page 2: Se7 en title sequence

In the first shot of the title sequence shows a blank book l in focus. This adds a very dark and sinister effect as the room is dark around it , perhaps a cellar . The audience becomes curious as to why this book is important and were is the location?. As well as this the audience can also see an out focused pair of hands behind the book which adds to the mysterious initial shot. The audience then question as they want to know who's hands they are . Finally , The music in the background sounds distorted and eerie which adds to the scary effect.

In Seven the shots used in this title sequence was dominated by close ups , this only gives of a small amount of clues as its keeping a lot hidden away from the audiences eyes.

The character in here , we only see in extreme and normal close ups  The reason for this is to keep the audience curious because they cannot analyse the mise en scene quick enough . There are close ups on his finger tips and close up on his hands. The fact his hands are dirty too suggest that perhaps he is some sort of criminal as he is slicing his finger tips off to get rid of his fingerprints. Indicating , he is the criminal.

The font of the titles are rough and un neat , as a audience it seems like a males handwriting. They also flicker a lot which adds to the thriller/horror genre as they are not still and boring. As well as this they are bright white on a flickering grey and black background which is a sharp contrast between the two. The font being handwritten makes us think automatically this is the font of the male .

Religion is suggested as the man doesn’t believe in God because he cuts out the word God from the dollar bill and then tapes down a picture of what seems to be a torture idea of a man with a contraption around his head which includes a screw going through the front of his face. We then see many flashing images of the of him sewing his book together which could imply he is creating his own bible of some sort.

In addition , he goes over the words ‘transsexual, homosexual’. This indicated that perhaps he want these types of people gone out of his world , that seems to him they shouldn’t be here.

. A main point which is so powerful about this title sequence is the story line is partly un clear , but this has a knock on effect for the audience as it makes the mood more creepy as you don’t know what's going to happen.   Therefore , Se7en has a very powerful title sequence which makes the audience curious and leaves them wanting more which forces them to continue the movie.
