'Se7en' Analysis

This is the first shot we see. Its of a range of orderly set out things to do with a profession. This shows that the character is good at his job and is professional. Its a close-up shot.

 This next shot is a medium shot of a dead body on the floor. We don't know what is going on and can't see very well as its dark and there's minimal natural light so its very mysterious. We can see what his job is now. 

This is a mid shot and shows the police tape which reinforces his job. Its a very dark, dirty setting. The chair in the corner shows its not a nice place and is quite seedy. 

This shot shows a younger man - bit more laid back. Not similar to the other character. He is clearly less inexperienced (the scruffy tie and leather jacket). This is a mid shot too. 

 This is another mid shot. Its shows the main character. Its a very serious shot and is dark and shadowy as well. His outfit is more like a typical detective (long coat and dark hat).

 This shot shows they work together as a team but not a lot of team work. Its dark and gloomy again - pathetic fallacy. It a mid shot as well as a two shot.

The metronome is further establishing the character and shows how he gets to sleep. This shows he's trying to filter stuff out and might not like his job. Too old for this anymore. Its effective in the film. 

These are the titles. They look at the killers record of how/what hes doing. Its dark once again and very mysterious.

The titles have very sharp music which reinforce the brutality of the murders. Still showing more and developing the murderers side.

This is outside and shows the setting of the place. Its dark and gritty once again. Establishes the place and time.

This shows the characters car and the lack of it. Its very ordered, neat and tidy. Its shows the role he has.

This a P.O.V shot of what the characters would see themselves through the torch light, but not there own P.O.V. We are almost detecting ourselves.

This is a mid shot and shows a grotesque image of a mans face down in spaghetti. This makes us question whats going on and builds up the story.

This shows the character and the struggle he is having to find out what is going on. Shows how difficult his job is.

This is a close-up of the hands tied together. We see through torchlight again and its almost like we are both detecting together. We are asking lost of questions.

This shows the character in his job and how serious it is. It shows how hes just getting on with it and is very determined. Its building up the story.

This shows the other person shining the flashlight at the man. Shows how inexperienced he is as he isn't helping just standing in the corner.
