SH: Opening Sequence Ideas

Seven (Fincher 1995)

• In this film there is a lot of attention to specific detail and attention to chosen objects.
• The opening is shot entirely through close ups and extreme close ups. These sorts of shots which focus on particular objects, for example an area of a page in a book, they also include a small amount of the characters hand.
• This is something we would like to emulate in our film as we want to draw the viewers eyes on specific attention to detail. For example we are looking to include shots of our main character holding an instrument/weapon in which we would look to establish first what happens but then cut to an ECU of the instrument which gives it a slightly more shocking feel.
