When we started to Analyse the opening sequence of Seven I noticed extreme close up being used on a mysterious black book which had nothing written on it at all it was just blank which was strange. I also noticed a shadow over the book as well as two broken hands on a paper which made it clear that who ever owns this book must be a murderer.
As the opening scence went on we saw someone peeling finger nails off this to me suggestes that who ever this man is he tried to remove his finger prints covering all his criminal convictions, this suggest to the audeince that this person is the killer, he is getting rid of his finger prints so that he can not be found if he commits another crime. It looks as if he is making a note or a book or maybe a threatening letter. The killer is seen to cross out certain words from a dictionary, pieces of paper or the Bible. The music behind the opening scene makes you feel scared as if someone is watching every step of yours.

As the movie plays on diegetic sound of theme music is played with a high pitch as well as low and the frequency changes this creates tension to the audience, Disturbing music starts which creates fear.
A range of extreme close up is used within the opening sequence to certain characters, static shots sudenly appear of scrap books which suggestes he is obssesed with writting this leaves the audience wondering what it is that he tries so hard to perfect.
Fast and quick shots are used with beats of music this tells us that this persons mind is irregular and he dosnt think about anything twice he just dose things as he likes. Whilst the character is writting images are superimposed this may convay passage of time and space.
