thriller films - 'seven'

camera work:
the camera work involved in the making of seven is full of p.o.v shots. the film tells the storys of the seven deadly sins and each sin follows a murder. the first murder is the scene that we have studied. through the first scene the p.o.v shots are used the most. the reason for the great use of this camera angle is because the two detectives are studing a death and all the shots are i nthere point of veiw. these shots show us what the detectives can see and everythign from there studying.
editing:
the editing used in this film. is the opening credits that are cleverly made show the preperation of the killer geting ready to kill. as he is preparing himself the credits are rolling past on the screen.
mise-en-scene:
the mise en scene that is represented in the film as all the shots are in order of one another. although in the opening scene we did not see how the victim died which woudl have made a good storyline the way that it follows form the killers preperation to the way that the detectives are looking round the house for clues. the order of the film therefore almost jumps out of order and doesnt make sense.


sound:
the music in this opening scene is very up-beat the music steadily builds more and more tension. the way that typical films are made is the music starts slow then gradually builds up adding suspense and tension in the audience.

narrative:
the story is in order of the seven deadly sins the way that they are listed. lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride.

lighting:
the lighting used in this movie is very very dark. there are a great deal of shadows and also many places for a killer to hide away. the first scene is a house that has no lights. no natural daylight although it is day outside the windows have been boarded up. the lighting that is used is a very dim bulb light hanging from the ceiling. when the detectives are looking round the house to see the murder it is very hard to see waht is around the house. overall i think that the lighting overall in this openign scene is very poor and when ewatchign i coudl not see very well at all.
sfx:
the special effects that are used in this film are the set up of each murder on each victim. the deaths are highly set up and the camera work in making the vicous attacks and deaths look worse and horrible is the way that. the camera work stays at a low angle to make the deaths look very powerfull and the thought of the killing gives of a message.
