Titles of Seven Analysis

This is the first image is of the opening titles of the thriller SE7EN, it gives us the idea that the movie created world the audience is about to enter is dark and creepy.  The book seen gives the impression to the audience that the character is old fashioned.

Image 2: The font text is shown to be almost hand written and stencilled with a scruffy, scrawled type of writing this shows the character to be messy and abnormal. The fact this is in different fonts is quite unnerving to the audience.

Image 3: This photo shows an illustration of some hands which do not look quite right. They fingers look like they have been broken and the actual skin of the hand shows a lot of veins.

Image 4: This image is quite disturbing. It shows a man scraping skin off of his fingers with a razor blade. Normal people don't do this! This certainly gives an impression to the audience that something is not quite right with this character we've been introduced to.

Image 5: This is the main title of "Se7en". It doesn't appear straight away, it has an introduciton. The word itself flashes on and off and changes in sizes. It has different layers of text over each other. Just the word and the font is very unnerving.

Image 6: This photo shows how much writing this character has done. The double image also implies insanity. This is backed up with the actions that he has been doing in other slates.

Image 7: This Scene involves the character adding finishing touches to his journal that we have witnessed him (or her) creating. Photographs are being added.

Image 8: This photo is of the character binding the book together. His final touches to something he has spent a lot of time on mean that he will need a new hobby! This is unsettling and implies to the audience that something bad is going to happen.

Image 9: This final slate we have created is of a very disturbing image.. The image is of a man with a metal devise drilled into the back of his head. People usually wouldn't have this laying around where they live. It is a horrible image, which a man who is this arranged should not have!
