The lighting used in the opening of "Seven" is quite dark which gives the impression or foreshadows that the film will be dark also. the lights also set the audience for whatever type of film it is. for example high key lighting is usually used in comedy's and general light hearted films. low key lighting is usually use in thrillers, horrors etc.
Effects:
The effects used in the opening are quite sharp and cut. for example the transitions between each shot are short, distorted and jumpy. This may give an impression of what the film may be like.
Camera angles:
Camera angles used in the opening are mainly close ups and areal views. An example of this is when there is a close up of hands turning the pages of a book, another example of a close up in the opening is when their is a shot of hands threading a needle. An example of an areal view is a shot of a pair of hands drawn on a peace of paper.
Sound:
The sounds used in the opening are hollow and also synthesized. For example at the beginning there is a sound of an explosion and instead of being loud and sounding full of power it sounds empty. Also throughout the opening you are able to hear a sound that would usually come from a police radio so the effect of radio waves.
Editing
The editing used in the opening is good. For example the way the names of actors and titles appear at first distorted and then comes into focus. This keeps the viewer interested as they have to focus to see what it says. It is also the same for the transition for the slides
