Seven - the opening scene

NARRATIVE STRUCTURE - At the beginning the first opening shots are all mainly close up with this mysterious character working on a book. We get hints of foreshadowing elements of the story eg - the peeled fingers to avoid finger prints.

Thriller Codes and Conventions - It uses engima codes and creates questions being asked - Who is this person? - Why is he/she doing this? - Why are they doing the same things There is partial vison were you don't see the face of the characters it focus's on the villains work which seems professional, meticulous, derranged, obsessive. The environment is very dark an there is a mysterious atmosphere building up with the music put into place.

Camerawork - Its mostly entirely made of close ups and extreme close up shots, with still camera work and restrictive vision; it focus's the audience on what the character is doing. The viewers are put in a situation were it becomes quite unpleasant with shots taken place.

MISE-EN-SCENE
C - costume - There are colours of black/white/red- blood, death, danger
L - lighting - focus's on sharp instruments, needles, razors/ pens
A - Actors - Pictures of for photographs of the victums
M - Make - up - There are lots of handwritting - cleverness/obessions.
P - Props
S - Setting Sound - low pitch bass/beats - creaks / screams - ghostly noises - at the end there is a song with the lyric, '' you get me closer to god'' - motivation.

Montage - not continuity Images super impoied on each other distroia. The images jump around Cutting from one image to another quite quickly Subliminal editing images flashing on the screen for a very short time

Graphics - Scratchy handwriting which links to the killers amateur handwriting. Closer to the film begging the start the main characters come first Then the title of the film. Then the less important people eg main camera man. But the the director always comes last with all the credits jump around
