Seven anlysis

BEGINNING OF ANALYSIS
SEVEN
Camera Shot/Angle/Movement:
Begins with an extreme close up shot of the binding of a book, vision of the shot is blurred allowing you to see what is happening, but keeping the character and setting a mystery. Bird’s eye view of hands, which are pale white and a grey colour looking as if the person is dead, foreshadowing a victim. Shot reverse shot on the image of some type of scalpel, which is being used to remove finger prints from the victim, this would be done to remove identity/ DNA.
Sound:
The music is non-diegetic as it is not showing the sounds of what is happening . The beat is chaotic and disorientated. The pace varies throughout and so does the pitch, foreshadowing the complication of the mystery’s, but also relates to the disorientation of the beat. Random sharp noises stimulates the sound of screaming, which would connect to the moments before murder. The music also sounds like the movement of a metal object, e.g. Chains which would connect to some kind of torture.
Editing:
Cutting of many different shots, depicting small clues together as if solving a mystery. in between each image shot there is a black screen for a small period of time, allowing you to view opening credits. flashing credits in an almost vintage type of font, creating an eerie atmosphere. Characters: In the beginning sequence we aren’t introduced to characters, but we do see hands and body parts of what we think to be the victims. So the characters are introduced dead; carrying on the theme of mystery.

Locations:
The lighting is very dim and the camera vision blurred not allowing us to fully identify the location. You can see objects such as books, and tables instead of trees and the outside terrain suggesting it is based in a room/ building.

Narrative/Plot:
The title is self contains part of the narration which is ultimately the seven deadly sins. The plot is shown that 7 victims are being killed by a serial killer using the facts of the seven deadly sins.




Themes:
The images of metal objects such as chains, and then images of what look like hands of a deceased person shows the theme of death! As the scenes are depicted into small clues, which allow this to be mysterious show a theme of Mystery. The main film is the seven deadly sins, as all the victims are killed in such ways; e.g. Gluttony, being made to eat and eat until the stomach explodes.

Visual Style:
Small clues of what is happening. You can see someone (by their hands) flicking through books, and writing as if they are recording something, you can also see them with the metal objects and deceased persons portraying them to be an investigator of some type or maybe even the killer themselves?; these small details allow us as the audience to make our own assumptions to who that character is, to later on prove us right or wrong. The background in some scenes is quite blurred allowing minimal vision, enabling you to see what’s happening but not entirely.

Genre:
I would say this film is defiantly a thriller, as it has aspects or gore but unlike a horror the story isn’t guessable and allows mystery. Also the sharp music and twisted plot enables it to be a thriller, but maybe even an action? As death is involved and naturally when death occurs so does the action of the investigation.
