analysing seven

we watched he movie seven with brad pit, Morgan freeman and \Gwyneth Paltrow
Seven (also marketed as Se7en) is a 1995 American crime film directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. The story follows a retiring detective (Morgan Freeman) and his replacement (Brad Pitt), jointly investigating a series of ritualistic murders inspired by the seven deadly sins. However we are not made aware of this in the first 3 mins of film however from the first 3 mins film i concluded that they used many techniques in order to portray to the audience that it was a thriller : for example the use various types of shots such as a close up of morgan freeman putting on a tie this creates an intense feeling which again emphasizes the elements of a thriller . there was also allot of panning which gave a sense of slowly revealing something. furthermore there was also a use of a pov shot to show the story from the characters perspective . Non-diegetic sound is used in the opening scene and from the opening scene we can already deduce tat the film will be in a linear sequence in chronological order and that it will be naturalistic furthermore pathetic fallacy is used in the opening sequence with the rain reflecting there mood .
