Edited 31/01/17: How are conventions of film noir used in the opening of Se7en?
Influenced by the opening of Se7en, we will similarly begin with diegetic sound over a black screen to suggest an enigma, plus create a sense of anticipation and tension. We will also choose an urban location for our film because this is conventional for the thriller genre and can symbolise danger. Additionally, the diegetic sound of a metronome in the opening of Se7en effectively creates a sense of suspense and we will use a similar sound in the form of a ticking watch within our film opening.
