Opening of Se7en

The opening is pact with images and clips, from what i can guess it is of a man prepearing or planning something - something horrible according to what he was looking at (at one point there was an image of a man with a knife in the head). But this could be a cop, writing a report about a serial killer, trying to determine the psycology of the character. The opening is confusing.

The titles are edgey, flicking on and off the screen in a font that has sharpe edges, small and haqrd to see when put over some of the clips the opening shows. Some of the titles, like the one below, glow, some are like they are written in pencil and others are blood red. This means that in this film the murderer is changing, unpredictable. Dangerous.
From the music, I have concluded that the opening scene is of the murderer, planning his killings. The music is menacing and this will suit a villian more then a hero. The editing of the clips is fast, switching very quickly, often changing the colour or adding a layour over the first clips, for example, when he is writing we see the pen at two different points. Both ther clips editiedf together.

The rest of the film may be like most of the other thriller films, there is a murder, a disturbt man looking for a cruel sence of the world, then you have a cop trying to find and stop him. But there will be twists and turns in the film.
