Thriller 1 - Se7en

Dominated by close ups and extreme close ups

Look like POV shots

scratchy text

strange creepy music but parallel

not much context

very dark 

what's on screens is never clear

nothing given away from what's in the credits

text is well used to help give the credits more dark

scratchiness tells us it isn't a horror but a phycological thriller

book connotes knowledge which tells us that it isn't going to be easy to follow

lots of cutting like for a scrap book

becomes more scratchy as the credits go on

even though the text is jittery it is still readable

fairly random but makes sense to the genre it is in
