Analysis of opening titles in 'Seven'.



The opening titles of 'Seven' give a disjointed insight into the antagonist of the film.
The antagonist's face is not shown, emphasizing on the mystery of it all; but there are
scratched images showing what he is doing and especially his hands. There are a few
disturbing clips showing the antagonist using a razor blade to cut the tips of his fingers
off to rid him of his fingerprints maybe. The antagonist is also seen marking out people's
eyes on pictures and scribbling out some of their faces. Pages are ripped out and pictures
are put together, which seem like a sinister scrapbook. The background music is jumpy
and at some points it sounds like there is someone screaming; which increase the
tension and suspension building in the atmosphere. This is a good example of a thriller
film.
