Seven Titles Sequences

How does the title sequence introduce us to the character in seven and what do we know about the character?

From the opening titles, the character has been portrayed to be quite ritualistic and maybe quite obsessive by the way that they shaves of their fingertips with a razor so they can be sure that no evidence is left on whatever they are making. The character seems to be creating a sinister shrine that includes a lot of unusual clippings of text and images.

What shot types are dominant and why?


The shot types that were the most dominant would probably be the constant action of the character writing and editing the shrine in close up, so that their face isn't seen. This creates a mystery about the character.

What editing and font has been used and why?


The font and editing flow into each other people they're quite rough and untidy. This gives us the impression that even though the character is organized in what they are creating, their thoughts might be unclear or scattered around in messy way.
