In the opening credits, we see several camera shots of book pages being turned showing photos, bodies and tools which suggests that that character could be a doctor in psychology or either a mad person. The whole atmosphere created is very suspensful and chilling, especially with the slow and creepy music which steadily grows and has a heavy beat.
Many camera techniques are used in 'Se7en' such as an over shoulder shot to show the reflection of a character looking in a mirror, which creates the effect of showing what he is looking at. A two – shot is used when 2 of the characters are walking next to each other and talking. Red filters are used to create a chilling and creepy blood – effect in the opening credits which associates the themes of murder, death, pain and horror.
After the opening, we see one of the main characters reading in bed with a pendulum on his bedside cabinet, which could represent time, or the fact that time is running out for that character.
