We as a group chose to analyse Se7en as it is also a psychlogical thriller and is similar to our film in numerous ways, for example dark mise-en-scene, lots of close ups, etc. The film is A 1995 thriller about two detectives trying to solve a case of linked murders done in the theme of the seven deadly sins.
We liked the film opening as it didn't give much as away about the plot and kept us the viewer guessing about the real plot of the movie whilst at the same time keeping us entertained.
We felt the use of rock music created a sense of anarchy and disruption, this corralted to the extreame close ups of hands that we saw on screen. The close ups of the hands were very creepy, especially when the male character is carving skin off his finger tips with a razor blade. These shots combined with the fast paced editing helped to add to the tension before anything major had even happened in the film.
The film opening uses many special effects such as "bad film", this effect is used on particular shots and also on the shots of the credits, we feel the the effects were used on the credits so that they tie in with the fast paced, creepy opening and aren't disjointed from it.
