In the first 3 minutes of the opening if the film Seven, we can already tell it is a thriller. This is because of the jumpy sketchy titles and how they quickly appear then disappear. We can also tell this through the use of the metrodome and then the music. This is because the metrodome causes tension and curiosity as it the the main noise we hear at the start of the film, and then how it changes to the morbid erie music that begins to play as the scene changes which also shows its a thriller as the scene is graphic photos of beaten people and shots of someone scraping away their fingerprints and how it used dull morbid colours such as greys and browns. The first scene hooks the viewer as the fast paced shots cause a lot of suspense. It causes a lot of questions such as 'who's making the book?' 'why is he making it?' 'did he kill those people?' this makes the viewer continue watching it to find this information out. Also the very start scene with morgan freeman sitting in bed also makes the viewer to continue watching as they wonder why does he look tense and restless for. Through this we know that he is going to be a main character however it does not tell us his name who he is or what he does. We know that he is in a modern american city due the traffic noise and the style of room he is in however we do not have a clear view of where the other person is situated as it only shows brief clips.
