Intro
In class, everyone studied Collateral, for their suspense film however because I didn't get to watch it I chose to watch and write about Seven instead.
The film is about two detective spies, played by well known actors Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, on some sort of investigation trail, to do with a vicious killer who chooses victims according to seven deadly sins.
Camera & Mise en Scene:
Camera: the consistence camera creates suspense by the way it moves so ridgy as if the camera was being hand-held. At the start when the camera slowly follows Freeman about it makes us feel uneasy and as if we're with him in the situation which creates suspense because the waiting becomes lengthy. Also the close up of the clock emphasises the importance of time as it adds to the wait.
Mise en Scene: the genre of the film is clearly a thriller type and we know this almost instantly because of the mise en scene. Every image somehow relates to an investigation or mystery crime story. Its seem to be set in New York as we're shown the a quite New York City type setting. Features like the gloomy eerie room and slow movement adds emphasis to whats going on.
Editing & Sound:
Editing: the editing in the short Seven clip throughout, is consistently slow, stretching out movement to lengthen and increase tension with the long wait and unsurity. also, the titles run for long which gives an extra feel of anticipation.
Sound: is rather simple but effective. the peaceful orchestral background music runs through the scene increasing towards the end creating nerve-jangling feelings. it creates many different emotions without anyone saying anything, which I like, as it makes a more mysterious tone.
