Analysis of Thriller Openings - Se7en Audio Commentary

Se7en (1995): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114369/

Director: David Fincher

Writers: Andrew Kevin Walker

 Se7en is a iconic film for its disturbing, chlling plot which is itself carried by its stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. The film follows the traditional conventions of a thriller however it often challenges these tropes in order to create a deliberate sense of unease and confusion. Below is my audio commentary for the title sequence.
 

Beneath this I have included the original titles as well as the titles shown in the opening sequence, in the order they appear on-screen.
