At the start of the clip, dark colours are shown creating an eerie effect helping the audience to understand that what they are about to watch is not a childrens film or action film or comedy. The ambient music and naturalistic background sounds help the audience to get a feel of where the characters are first going to be seen and as a ticking noise gets louder, this also builds up suspense after which haunting music is followed.
The cast used in 'Seven' is more mature, and stars Morgan Freeman, who has been in films such as 'Bruce Almighty', 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'The Bucket List' and is a famous well known actor, as well as Brad Pitt, who has been in films such as 'Fight Club', 'Inglorious Bastards' and 'Babel'. You soon find that Morgan Freeman is the Protagonist as he has more screen time and also showing that he is weak as he looks into things that aren't obvious to others, making him isolated.
7 people have died in the film, linking the title in well as to the happenings of this thriller. The whole film is based around a certain type of crime, murder.
The first person that the film introduces you too is the detective, where binary opposites are put into place for the two main characters. One character shows a sense of cleanliness and tidiness whereas the other is young, cocky and messy.
Montage editing has been used to help the audience understand what has gone on and is going on in the film, with suspenseful music and dark lighting adding to the atmosphere, linking in well with detective work.
