Danielle SOUND
there are lots of example of ambient sound such as the rain hitting the roofs and background talking from the other people. this helps create a sense of time and location and also shows that the location is busy. the sirens which can be heard in the background tell the audience that a crime has been committed and crime is a typical feature of a thriller and the police radio also adds to this. cutting from the ambient sound to silence creates drama and then the introduction of, at first, the quiet metronome click builds suspense as it gradually becomes louder. the click could suggest time passing or the wasting of time by the character and the increase in volume could give the impression that something is going to happen if he continues to waste time. when the credits begin rolling, incidental music is laid over the top. this music is dark and sinister. the drum in the music almost creates a pulse or heartbeat giving it an eerie human quality but also links to the theme of life and death in particular. also the sound of the creaking door and ghost like noises incorporated into the music adds to the already tense music.
Amelia Mis-en-scene
In seven, mis-en-scene is used effectively. The police officers are wearing suits and ties which gives off the impression of them being superior and smart. They also wear coats which are smart, this shows that they dress appropriatley for the weather.
There is a close up on the mans glasses which could give the audience the impression that the man is old due to the style, size and shape of the glasses. This would cause a reaction of sympathy from the viewer.
In the introduction you see objects such as needles and razor blades which appear malicious. These give off the impression of pain, which may indicate to violence in the film.
