Seven Opening Sequence in depth analysis

the credits were in white which represents purity where the background was black which could symbolise the deadly sins;the contrast between white and black represent the opposites of the heros and the villains- this can be seen that the audience is watching from the ciewpoint of the heros. in the notes and books the person crosses out the words 'transvestite' and 'homosexuality' whic shows the person is against those types of things, yet circles the word 'sex' which shows where his mind is set. the word 'greed' was at the top representing the serial killer. the person sews pages together to make a book of the seven deadly sins of which murders he commited.
the bible appears throughout the opening title sequence which shows that it is in the act of god; it appears at the beginning and the end which shows it is reciprocal.

Seven Traier

the dramatic and suspense filled music adds to the effect of the clips as it gages a certain reaction from te audience to persuade them to think a certain opinion about the movie. it also shows the thriller theme. the pace speeds uup towards the end of the trailer. the length of the clips become shorter towards the end to emphasise the danger and thrill of the film, keeping the interest of the audience effectively. the metranone produces a 'tick-tock' sound that is diagetic sound as we can see the source of the sound howver it starts playing in the background of other clips which makes it non-diagetic sound. it adds to the mystery that is presented in the trailer. the lighting is dark and there is often a red glow which gives the impression that something bad has happened. the information given to us by the characters that describes the seven deadly sins- he tells us that only two murders have been committed and five more are most likely going to happen . the writing of notes and cuttings out of newspapers and magazines stereotypically associates with serial killers so the audience is assuming what the plot of the story is about. the creadits were written as if it were jaggedly handwritten giving the feel of danger and mystery.
