Thriller Sequence Analysis

- The first shot shows a man getting ready for his job as a police officer, we can tell this because we see him picking up equipment such as his police badge. This is part of the micro-element mise-en-scene.

- He is also shown to be very organised and calm. We can see this because he uses a metronome whilst thinking about important cases. This seems to be a fairly important thing within the representation of the character and would most probably be significant later on within the film.

- In the opening sequence one of the characters says about the next seven days being important. This is also obviously significant as the title of the film is seven also.

- There is also non diogetic sound when there are clips of the murderer creating creepy vibes.

- The other character, Mills, is a cocky and arrogant person who is intelligent and is smart-casually dressed as opposed to all the other police men who were smartly dressed. This shows individuality of each persons.
