Sound

While watching the movie Se7en, the sound was a big part in the movie like it is in most movies. However, in Se7en I felt as though invisible sound was used heavily in the beginning and teetered off towards the end by it played a big in making the viewer feel like how the characters were feeling. They are in this big world and they are surrounded by this mass chaos. The use of high volume and high tension are used in such occasions in the movie, and the use of more solemn music during the thinking aspects, the music in the movie was used very well.

I very much enjoyed the movie it is not my favorite type of movie and would not watch it again but for what the movie was and the way the director wanted you to feel it made me feel that way. I felt worried for the characters at points I felt puzzled when they were puzzled and got angry when they did. This movie was great and will give it a 10/10 for the amount of work they did and how it made me feel and for a great plot.

Editing

The use of editing is used a lot in this movie with a whole bunch of cutting from actor to actor. This is used in the institution where Cole meets Jeffery. One of the most prominent scenes is when Cole breaks out while Jeffery is causing a ruckus to allow Cole to leave. During the scene the camera cut back and fourth between Cole and Jeffery, as we watch we are on the edge of our seats hoping Cole makes it out but we are unsure do to the mental state he is in due to medication. As we switch back to Jeffery who as time goes on is unable to keep causing a distraction and periodically tries to help Cole along with his perhaps only chance to escape. Another time when the use of editing helps change the mood is when Cole is accidently sent in the midst of World War I and with the viewer just as confused as Cole the camera keeps changing to help give us the feeling of urgency that those very soilders are feeling.

The movie was a change from what I would consider watching but i really enjoyed it. It may not be the most original idea however the movie did it well with adding in some comedy and the greatness of the actors who enhanced the watching experience. For a rating of this movie I would give it a 9/10 because I liked the idea of the plot and the circumstances the main character was thrown into.
