- From the film 'Se7en' and from many other conventional thriller films, we can see that opposed to horror films there is alot of dialogue between everybody, this is paired with eary music which creates a lot of tension and makes the audience concentrate on the film alot more.
- The film Se7en portrays this idea very well using a single external factor to create this; in this case it is the head of one of the mans wife, the killer is currently sitting next to him toying with him and trying to get into his head. A psychological aspect which makes the audience think.
- Shot reverse shots are constantly used to portray the emotions especially of the man that has lost his wife played by Brad Pitt.
- There is no non diegetic sound added apart from the a gun shot which means there isn't a problem with continuity so it runs smoothly, furthermore, the gun shot juxtaposes the eary atmosphere.
- The cutting rate is also fairly slow which also reinforces the idea that it is seamless.

LF: i think this is a great opening sequence to a film. the slow cutting rate increases continuity however to make a horror i belive a fast cutting rate should be applied to increase levels of fear and it makes the audience more jumpy
