Se7en - group analysis, CEMS

Camera - in 'Se7en', camera angles include low angle shots and two shots to make the men took superior and that they know what they are talking about. This gives the audience the impression that they are professional and they have a mission to complete.

Editing - At the beginning of the clip from 'Se7en', the glow from outside is a pinky, purple colour and therefore it is artificial looking and un-natural, so the clip starts off very unusual and the thriller theme starts. This colouring coming from outside, contrasts to the dim indoors lighting and therefore the mood changes and theres an uncetain feeling to this part of the film. This could give the impression that something is about to happen that is going to give quite a scare to the audience. Editing in this way, additionally makes the audience pre-empt whats going to happen next, and wants to see more.

Sound - In 'Se7en' there is a heartbeat sound in the background which is non- diagetic to the characters in the film. This sets the atmosphere to be quite tense, making the audience feeli like there is something about to happen. You can tell that its a gloomy day straight away because you can hear the wind outside, when the man is inside the building. As soon as the two men stop outside, you immediatley see the people with umbrellas and see the rain. Throughout the whole scene you can hear a diagetic sound of police sirens that implies that something bad has happened, so the audience know that the film will be about a crime investigation. When the man was in the building and the credits were going on you could hear a sound,  like a radio which had lost signal, which creates a suspicious atmosphere. You can tell in the scene that its quite a rough area beacuse of the men's accents. When the man is lying in bed, you can hear a ticking, then some non - diagetic sounds come through, and that shows the audience that the man is thinking back to an incident that he had been involved with. Then the music of the credits kick in and it raises the tension.
