Analysis of opening sequence Se7en

   



First shot is an extreme close up of an a book..?- which is in focus and a hand out of focus- turning the page- camera is level with the edge of the book,
 music is low and edgy, then cuts to a black screen with a credit on it in white,

then another fast cut to a birds eye view of a sketch on hands on a piece of paper with another credit-
the fingers dont look normal.
the cuts are all extremely fast after this,
one looks like to be a piece of metal spinning around- a gun piece or a building tool?
then another black screen with another credit in white writing.
then a fast cut to a low lit extreme close up of someones fingers holding a piece of metal, could mean that this piece is important and what theyre going to do with it may show what happens later.
then a fast cut to anither black screen with another credit in white writing.
another fast cut follows, with another extreme close up of a hand putting a teabag in a cup?
fast cut - shows a picture of a man for about 0.5sec and then back to teabag dipping into a cup

a plain black screen with the title Se7en which then gets bigger  and continues onto the next cut which looks like to be an extreme close up of come notebooks and a hand covered in bandages- shows that they might have been doing some dangerous handiwork.
the hand opens the notebook but the camera changes its angle to a side point of veiw of it- and you see a pen writing in the notebook- looks like notes- butyou dont get to see what it actually says-
