Se7en Thoughts

I was not in the lesson but watching this clip I can see where you are both coming from.
After watching the clip one of the things that catches my attention is the build up of diagetic music. The way that it is layed in the small clip before the titles. The clip starts with the sound of the cars outside in the distance and then when the metronone starts ticking this dominates the sound. It ticks like a heart beat creating a creepy and mysterious atmosphere. When the titles appear the music changes and to me it sounds a bit like a music deck because of the scrating noise that is occationally heard. The music has a distinct heart beat base noise to it and this fits with the movement of the titles as they flash on and pulse like a heart.

Suspense is built up throughout the sequence and music contiburtes to much of this. One thing i noticed was the limited colour palette and many of the images have a red hue to them making the sequence seem quite dangerous and this fits in with the images of the fingers and the blade (removing the fingerprints) and the danger of the tools and impliments that are being used within the sequence.

One other feature that caught my eye was the font style of the titles. I noticed that it was like handwriting and this linked with the backgroud images of a handwritten text and the style looked similar. This made the sequence more interseting to watch.
