The first opening sequence of a thriller I will evaluate is "Se7en". ![]() Here we have a macro shot of the book emerging from the light and it looks as if nothing has been written in it. ![]() And now the book is shown to be coming out of the dark with images that looks to connotes a frightening feeling. At the start of the sequence, we see a close up shot of the background of book pages, however soon after the book now turns into more like a diary with a picture of hands. the hands look like they have been tortured and they look like they are begging for mercy. Between the scenes, it shows a contrast of how the book stands out from the light but then the picture of hands are shown to come out of the darkness, which connotes that the book has been contrasted from being plain to something erie. ![]() Now we have a medium close up of the title of the film with the subject of the film behind the title. The writing looks gruesome, and it includes the number 7, which makes it create an effect of the title and it doesn't look too plain, which stands out as the film is called "Seven" but there is the number 7 written in the title, therefore its makes it a creative title. The audience is shown different camera angles of the killer writing and adding images to the book of dead victims, is including quotations of something from a book and is crossing out words. There is a lot writing in the diary that could connote the killer has researched a slot of killing methods for his victims. Overall this trailer gives a lot of suspense to the audience and it gives a feeling of suspense. There are many ways it can give suspense, for example if you listen to the music, it sounds scary, how the book is being written, images and letters are added, e.t.c. I think watching this opening sequence has inspired our group to come up with something like this opening sequence as it shows lots of close ups about the subject in detail.
