Analysis Of A Neo Noir film opening. Two.

Se7en

 Seven was made in 1995, its director was David Fincher and was written by Andrew Kevin Walker. It’s about two detectives who are on the hunt for a serial killer who uses the deadly sins as their modus operandi. The music at the beginning of the film is Nine Inch Nails with a slowed down verison of 'Closer'. It's has a part where it goes 'you get me closer to God.' Which is a refrence to the film as the killer uses the deadly sins to kill their victums. When it first begins the music is kind of down beat, rough and a bit fast... You dunno when the next beat is going to be but it makes the auidence feel a little unsettled especially with a few pieces of what happens in the credits. The beginning is really a list of what a killer needs or what this killer needs and what they do to prepare, the images are only on for a few seconds so if you look away you might miss a few important pieces. The light in this helps aswell theres somethings that are a bit to dark and maybe it's something they don't want you to see. This beginning pulls you in even if you are a little creeped out by it at first, theres a lot of showing of razor blades, needles, people, books, it's as if it's only the props are important and not the person themself as they are never shown as a whole. This adds to the mysteriousness off it all and makes the viewer either confused and wanting more or just wanting more. There is always a contrast between white and black even in the titles, it seems to be giving the good and evil effect of maybe.
