Deconstruction (se7en)

This is the very opening credit to the film se7en. It shows a page, yet the reader cannot see what's written on it. This gives a sense of mysteriousness as this must a vital part of the film due to appearing first.
The next opening credit shows a pair of hands, drawn to perfection and measured on the page. Looking at this picture would show the reader that there could be a detective withint the film, trying to find someone very dangerous and odd.
The creepyness of this picture along with the music still carrys on the mysterious vibe. The hands, which are not clean are holding what seems an important peice of information. This could be vital within the film.  
The next caption shows the title of the film. The writing is shady and this makes the person watching feel insecure, on the edge of the their seat, and maybe even abit scared to what is going to happen during the film. The picture behind the credit is unknown. In a way this is good because it makes the watcher want to know what it is, an if it plays an important role withint the film. Using a '7' instead on 'n' shows that this number is a significant part within the film and if the watchers knew before, they know it would relate to the seven deadly sins.


For the opening scene to have a pen going to a peice of paper means something could be being plotted or planned. This could be anything from hunting a killer to solving the mystery of a murder. The watcher is given a clue that the person holding a pen could be a detective, as these are the people that plot and plan things.


This part of the opening scene really gives an insight to what the film is about. The face is unkown and the eyes are crossed out, this shows that maybe the person which drew this picture doesnt even know who they are. This again, gives an insight on that there could be a killer and a detetive involved.
These hands seem to be pinning paper together. Just by this picture we can see that this is done very carefully due to the precision of the hands. For someone to do this must mean that there is something very devious going on. This adds to the question of the watcher, why does someone need to be this precaucious?

This next part of the opening scene we see the paper which was being pinned, is now being sowed together. This adds to the mystery as there is obviously something to hide within the film. The audience want to see this myster unravel.
This is the last picture of the sequence. This picture looks like the unknown maybe detective is cutting out money. This gives an air that maybe the unknown is dealing with some dodgy business. This shows that maybe anything could happen....
