Se7en Opening Credits Analysis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEZK7mJoPLY
The opening credits of Se7en, an iconic thriller film, begins with a series of clips. We begin to piece together the fact that this is a detective, working. It also uses an eerie background music, fast paced and dramatic. This sets the tense and suspenseful atmosphere as the audience has no clue as to what is going on, or what is going to happen. The font seems to be as chalk on a blackboard, which seem to jitter about, this reinforces the atmosphere as suspenseful. As the opening credits draw to a close, we see a dollar bill, and the word God is cut out. This could mean religious themes are included in the film. The music becomes faster and seemingly louder as the credits finish.
