In this sequence of the film Se7en, the camera does a numerous amounts of close ups of a variety of different objects in the film. This can show the audience what is happening at the start and trying to make them think what is going on. The first image we see at the start is of an old book which looks quite beaten up as the pages in it look faded and crisp. Also at the same time a bit of text comes up stating that the film is present by "New line cinema".
They have used quite odd font which seems to have been written over a couple of times with a pen. This gives a sense of anger or maybe frustration. Also it fits in with the music which is in the background, the music in the background is a thunder sound but with scratching. This ties in well with the font as it looks as if the font has been scratched quickly and messily to created a sense of rush.
This font relates to the film/ genre of this film as it is a thriller and the text looks as if it should be in a thriller based film because it looks sketchy and as if someone wrote it quickly to try and get out of somewhere they are trapped. Also, the font gives off a jumpy vibe when the title sequence is on because it jumps when it is on, which a connotation of this could be that it gives the audience a sense that something is wrong or something is going to happen which isn't going to be good.
On the other hand, throughout the sequence the camera has filmed in a low lighted room which gives of dark colours for example, black, a dark faded blue, grey and a faded green. This fits in well with the genre of the film because the conventions of a thriller are low lighting and dark colours which gives the sense that everything isn't going to be happy in this film.
However, the images used in this sequence work well together as it shows the audience that a man making something, cuts himself with the needle, puts a bandage on it and then starts to write something in the book that was shown at the start. It then goes on with an image of a boy and the character crosses the boys in the photo eyes out, which could signify that the character is going to go after that person in the photograph and try to get rid of him.
After that is shows images of the character making some sort of book and he is cutting out the word "God" to put into it which indicates that the character is a religious man.
