Se7en




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*.


Again, this was another good opening three minutes to a film and caught my attention. The titles,which come a little later in the film are very uncomforting and a little disturbing. The scene plays an important part in the film as it contributes to the plot. The font used reflects someone's writing, with the titles constantly flickering,creating unease among the audience. We see pictures of crimescenes and dead people which freak the audience. We hear lots of screaming sounds as we see these pictures which adds to the effect. POV is used alot to bring the audience places they don't want to be.
