Straight away in Se7en there is a close up on a book, and the credits appear beside it in a way thats like an old movie, it's very shakey, theres two sets of the same writing aswell that un merge when they're about to disappear.
It then shows the writing back to front and with a blink of an eye, it is the way it should be.
The font of the credits looks like writing on a chalk board and it looks like a young person has wrote it.
It has a close up of someone scraping away their skin with a razor, and a non diagetic sound of a girl screaming, which gives the impression that it was a memory.
They have made the opening credits very tense, and it is quite psychological. One part in the credits that shows its psychological is when they have merged two shots together of someone writing on a bit of paper, it shows him writing one part, and then suddenly it shows the person writing something else at the same time.
There are loads of close ups on all the objects, and hands, and it makes the audience wonder what this man/woman looks like. There are also a loads of matched cuts, just skipping a bit of time, and this again, get inside the audience' head creating a tense atmosphere.
The music in the opening credits is very slow, you can hear a heartbeat, it sounds very machanical, very echoy. then it sudenly picks up its pace and the suspense and tension rises.
