signifier the context of how you see this.
death, pain, horror, phycological, stalker?, harsh images, not done in chronological order - montage, god replenishes his sins - via old identity to the new identity, seven deadly sins?
signification meaning, what i thought of this detailed explanation.
In my opinion I think that the
that the film se7en has a great way to open up and that when you analyze the opening title sequence shot by shot you as the audience get to see a lot more and understand a large part of the plot and the storyline. from the notes that i have taken i feel that the film is based on a literature backgroud that shows some graphic and violent images, which make me feel that they story is about pain. The use of the music which also opens the film creates tension which is magnified with jump cuts, and the violent connatations which are apparant with the angry pen strokes which make it looka asif the nemaes of the actors and produces have been scratched in showing haterd. The shots that involve the image of scissors shows a phychological side of the film also the razor that we see implies that the man is cutting off his finger tips, this could be stripping his own identity for something he has done wrong.However when we see the pages being sewon together this makes me feel asif the man is trying to create himself a new identity. Could this be when we see the word "GOD" and then at the end of the title sequence we here some lyrics that suggest the whole story is linked to God himself. This lead me to question the fact that the man implies to cut off his finger tips with a razor blade that he might be doing this for God to wash away his sins to create a new identity to replenish himslef of the seven deadly sins. All of this happens in non - chronolgical order and is a montage of events all the way through the opening title sequence, throughout this the camera always reverts back to the book which has three kines of small writing in the standard one sized notebook line, could this mean that the whole film is sepecific to the whole detail and analysis in the book,l making the viewer think that the man is in some phychological confusion and that he ha staken his pain out on others by killing them? Could this be why he wants to take off his old identity and relenish it with God and sewing the pages of the book together are creating a new identity leading him to be a free man and forget about his past almost as if he will be living a double life in the future.
