Deconstruction, Learning & Practising

This is the opening clip of the film Se7en, it shows the production of the film and a book. By showing the book it is indicating a bit of mystery towards the film, and wondering whether this book could be important.

Secondly this sequence is showing a symmetric view of hands, although they are out of line; meaning that this maybe could be shown in the film how this has happened. The hands are drawn on paper which adds to the mysterious view, why have they been drawn? The writing used is shaky which adds to the creepiness along with the music.This puts the audience on edge.

This image is someone scraping skin off their fingers. The fingers shown are dirty and gruesome, which makes you the audience think what has happened for them to be like that? and why would you do something so drastic? 

This time the image has the writing of the title on the book, which is again shaky and adds an unease to the film. Also that the fingers have been bandaged up from where that have been sliced off, can give the audience confusion where they have hurt themselves one minute and bandage up the next. A second book has been picked up indicating that maybe again something mysterious is involved (secrets.)

This image shows him writing on the paper which again, using the same writing as before. The writing is quick and shaky and then flashes a close up on the paper. This makes the audience think what is going on.



This is an interesting clip as the audience will ask; who is this man? what has he done? and where is he now? the fact that he has scrapped out his eyes and then his face, gives a dangerous feel.

Again this has the shaky writing. Also shows the man placing down safety pins down on piece of paper. The precision of the hands show that he is doing this very carefully; could be something important. This makes it more mysterious and wondering what he is going to do with it.  

Image showing the man sewing together the paper, makes you wonder why is he doing this and not just be normal and use a stapler? what are these papers for? This obviously shows something is being hidden within this, the audience will want the mystery unrevealed.

Lastly the image shows a cutting out of the word "god" from a U.S note. Also that he isn't using his fingers to leave fingertips but using tweezer, meaning that maybe is plotting something that he don't want to be caught by.
