Se7en

This image shows the opening sequence of se7en, as the book is being opened and writen in.

The establishing shot in this opening sequence is a mshot of a book and the pages being turned, there is a tint to this shot with harsh lighting creating shadows and we can see a hand blurred turning the pages in the background. The way that the opening credits appear is interesting and they look quite similar to that of the typical horror/thriller genre, with an almost ghostly feel to them. The opening credits are quite an important part of the beginning of films, and this particular style is something our group will take into careful consideration when we are editing our opening sequence. there was approxiamtely 30+ different shots of various different events happening all creating the illusion that something bad has happened, all the shot types are close up for the opening, the use of sound creates tension troughout the opening, with the scary music, the lighting they used was a red source creating suspense and blood? also the props were pen and paper to sugest writing a investigation letter maybe, the titles were used very effectively because they all fited it with the scene, the continuity of the opening was acheived because all the scenes followed each other correctly, the elements we could achieve is the different close ups as the images wouldnt be that hard to congure up together to recreate, the hard elements would be finiding the right music and props to use for the close up views.
