Item One: Se7en (1995)


Item One: Se7en (1995) Focus Film. Very useful, displaying David Finchers style in one of his earlier pieces. There is a strong use of hard and low key lighting to create atmospheric and disturbing scenes without showing any violence. Also used as a juxtaposition, with High key, soft lighting used in the crime scene of Greed, to create a sense of discomfort within the audience surrounding safety. David Finchers stylistic approach also uses strong film noir elements, using hard lighting and a very bleak colour pallet, again creating juxtaposition to what seems like a very conventional detective film combined with a disturbing narrative with an ending containing no moral relief. Colour connotations used to create the desired feel to a scene, aiding again the narrative and also used in some to represent the sin in the crime scene.
