Opening Sequence - SE7EN

The opening sequence for SE7EN introduces Morgan Freeman in is home getting ready to to live a day in his life. He was dressed in a suit which shows his lifestyle is evolved around a business life. The way the character is presented is that he is very organised which is keys all set out in a particular place/order as he is neat and tidy kind of person. the house he lives is so clean it doesn't look like anybody lives there due to the tidiness of it all. The emptiness of the house suggests that Freeman is living alone and doesn't live with his family. Just before he leaves his house, his jacket is placed neatly on his bed and as he picks it up he dispatches any sights of fluff or dust to show his perfection.
The next shot we find out the role of Freeman which is a police officer, at this stage the plot/theme is introduced as a murder investigation. Brad Pitt is not introduced into the scene when he walks into the crime scene. The character of Brad Pitt shows that he is less professional due to the chewing of gum and what he is wearing. This could also show that he is less professional than Freeman as he doesn't really have an interest in his appearance. When both characters are discussing the murder case they take their conversation outside where the body is being carried out. The professionalism of Freeman is shown through the smart hat and coat where as Pitt is still remaining to chew his gum.
The next scene shows freeman laying in his bed distracted from the noise of traffic outside, whilst this is occurring the ticking from inside his house suggests that time is slowly running out.
Finally, the credits are shown, from cutting from the film to credit and then back to the film. at this point the killer is presented by cutting the finger tips with a razor to destroy any evidence which suggest that the killer is a murderer. whilst the credit are happening, the music makes the the character and the audience feel in an uncomfortable position.
