SEVEN

Seven is a 1995 film directed by David Fincher. It stars Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey. The

synopsis is two detectives, Pitt and Freeman, have to track down a serial killer who uses the seven deadly

sins as moral or his code.

• The hands on this screen grab from the opening sequence of seven show broken fingers on two hands, one in the light and one in the dark. Although this could be coincidental, I think this could be something more religious, using the lighting as good and evil.

In this screenshot it shows someone cutting off their fingerprints with a razor blade, this would indicate that the person is some sort of criminal and doing so to cover up their tracks.

In this screenshot from the opening sequence, it shows the person writing, this could be scrapbooking or plans, but it shows the killer is careful and plans things through.

In this image it shows someone reading what looks like a book or printed article about pregnancy and crossing certain words out. There is no real link from pregnancy to any of the seven deadly sins to an extent, so this could mean that the killer has a relation to a pregnant woman, or he is specific with his hunting

This screenshot shows someone crossing out the eyes of a picture of a man, this could mean secrecy and trying not to have that man identified by anyone

This part of the opening sequence is just to show how they did the credits, the text is crooked and looks hand written, it also flashes on the screen and makes it look very creepy, this is a good effect and adds meaning to the credits

This image shows the person cutting and removing the word god from a dollar bill, this is another reference to religion and the seven deadly sins and shows that he is possibly making a scrapbook about his work or what he believes is good; relating back to the previous slide about writing.
