As a part of my research of a thriller film i watched seven. The purpose of the opening is so it sets the film. Seven had a hook towards to it to bring in into the film. It introduced us to the characters and it also set the mood and atmosphere. The lighting was very dark, gloomy. There was also color filters in the camera and there was a silver effect. The costumes were traditional detective clothes. Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) wears a leather jacket throughout of the film. The leather jacket shows that he is cool and rebellious. A leather jacket shows an unprofessional side to people. Detective Mills is very messy in which he wears is clothes. His tie is just thrown round his neck and isn't tied properly. He is also very emotional in his job than Detective Somerset. Detective Somerset is very clean and smart. His house is very particular and so is he. He is very clever at his job and is also calm. There is a very big contrast between Detective Mills and Detective Somerset. The set is dirty and is a urban environment. The weather is always raining in most of the scenes. Even if it is sunny there is still rain. The rain is like a religious symbolism as in the rain is washing the sins. There are many different camera shots and editing. There are shot reverse shots, Long shots, medium shots. There are many zooms so you can see what is going on clearly or you can see peoples expressions if it is on there face. There are many different props such as scrapbooks, photographs, cutting up paper, writing, droplets of blood. All these things make you piece things together and make you think what is going to happen. There are also different sounds such as a heartbeat, distorted screaming, scratching and ticking noises. There are many more noises but these are just a few.
