The opening sequence for the film 'Se7en' is highly effective. THisopening sequence is itself very enigmatic. The shots used are all close ups of different objects, as a person does something. We are not shown details of this persons face, and it is difficult to piece togethor exactly what is going on. The use of consistent close up shots build up a feeling of obsession. This enables the film to develop and give the audience a sense of what is going to be happening at the start of the film. The font used, is very non conformist, it is scribbly, and not faded in and out slowly, but rather the text flashes, mirrors and mvoes around. This technique also strengthens the connotations of the genre. Because of the large number of close ups, the audience are left gripped , wondering what this person is doing. Thus i think this is an extremely effective opening sequence. The music also matches the title effects, and diorientates the audience more.
