Seven - Opening analysis


  • Movie starts with 'New Line Cinema'
A man is shown coming in the kitchen doing a bit of cleaning and then adjusting his wrist collar while going out of the room. The scene then shifts to the person adjusting his tie and slowly the camera moves upwards showing the face of our first character. The man as soon as he is done adjusting the tie he gets his necessary things. He takes his coat and switches off the light. The scene then shifts to two people talking about a murder case, the bodies are shown. The man then looks around here and there to see if there is anything. The second character then moves into an opposite room while a third character is coming up the stairs. As the third character comes and is shown looking for someone and introduces himself. The scene shifts to a building from where a body comes out on an ambulance bed, with the first and third character coming out while talking and then walking. First character is shown lying on the bed and reading a book, the camera then swiftly moves from him putting down his spectacles to a nearby tick-tock instrument. Then the sound of rain for a while. Finally the title scene comes.
