Se7en Opening sequence Analysis
In the opening
sequence of the film Seven there is a lot of diegetic sound used, for example:
when he turns on the tap and his footsteps, which is also a parallel sound.
Other forms of diegetic used in the opening sequence such as speech and sound
effects (SFX). Sound effects that are used are: police Siren, Megaphone and
metronome.
Non diegetic sound
is also used such as music. Thrillers are usually recognizable through there
theme tunes. The film Seven had a distinctive theme tune, which suggested the
film is a physiological-crime thriller due to its intense and creepy tune.
The metronome
suggests that the main character has OCD, because he has to have everything
perfect before he goes to bed and a constant beat. When the main character
started the metronome, the sound at the background of police sirens ,
people arguing and dog barking starts to sound louder , this could suggest that
the noise of violence helps him to go sleep.
