Notes - Seven

Seven 
Seven is a detective themed thriller directed by David Fincher. In the opening sequence to Seven a city setting is established along with a lead protagonist role played by Morgan Freeman. In the sequence the director uses eerie music continually throughout to create a sense of tension.

We see a common convention of a thriller when Morgan Freeman (the protagonist) is isolated by a colleague at work. We also get this impression when we see him alone in his house. This immediately gives the audience the idea of isolation.

In the opening credits the director has used a montage of shots in the opening credits, to create confusion.
