In the first 3 minutes of the film Seven, it is made clear the genre of the film is thriller. This is because of the jumpy sketchy titles and how they quickly appear then disappear. We can also tell this through the use of the metrodome and then the music. This is because the metrodome causes tension and curiosity as it the the primary noise we hear then how it changes to the morbid eerie music that begins to play as the scene changes which also indicates it as a thriller as the scene is of graphic photos and its dull morbid colors The first scene hooks the viewer as the fast paced shots cause a lot of suspense. It causes a lot of questions such as 'who's making the book?' 'why is he making it?' 'did he kill those people?' this makes the viewer continue watching it to find this information out. The scene with Morgan freeman sitting in bed also helps to hook the viewer into watching the rest as it raises some interesting questions. Through this we can tell he will be a key character in the film but does not tell us his name or anything about him the only thing we know is he is in a modern american city due the traffic noise and the style of room he is in however we do not have a clear view of where the other person is situated.
