The opening sequence to Seven

This film falls under the Thriller genre because the opening sequence shows a restricted view of the persons fingers which looks like he or she is investigating a crime as there are photographs and finger prints shown in the sequence, which would make the sub-genre a crime/mystery Thriller. The restricted view contains close-up's concentrating on this persons fingers which means there is something hidden and the audience cannot see, meaning that there is some sort of mystery in this film, which may lead the audience to suspense. The sound or music in this sequence also indicates the film to be a Thriller as the sound gets louder creating tension meaning something may be revealed to the audience.

Some excellent detailed comments Ibrahim, with each point clearly related back to the genre. Confident use of media terminology. Just try and use textual analysis terms such as connotation/signify/represents more fequently. Well Done!!
