Se7en Deconstruction - sloth death


  • this is an establishing shot of the police cars driving up to the house.
  • it conforms to its genre because is it raining and usually deaths happen in bad weather conditions
  • in this scene everything is really dark meaning the light on the police cars stand out identifying their importance.


  • by showing the body at this angle means that all of the lines in the shot are diagonal making the shot more tense and showing the obscurity in the death.
  • also by having tigh framing it shows the victim had no way out.
  • the body is put in the centre of the shot so the audience have nothing else to focus on forcing them to analyse the body.
  • this shot is of medium density because although you vcan see most cuts and injuries on the body some are covered.


  • a close up shot of the picture found after the death are you used to show the sick mind of the killer.
  • the gloves the detective is wearing also help this because they are green.
  • the black and white photos show the innocence of the victims anf the suffering they felt. it also portrays the sense of mystery about their deaths.
