Narrative Structure:
The narrative structure of the film Seven is a linear structure. This is where the films storyline unravel one after another. This is so it can be basic as the film becomes quite complicated. Not only that but the audience can follow through and be able to solve who is killing all the people, this is so the audience can be one of the agent solving the crime by doing this they can be more involved in the film.
There are several narrative themes through the film, the main one which the whole film revolves around is the 7 deadly sins, this also helps the audience get involved in the film as know what’s coming and can say that after the 1st deadly sin, gluttony will come next.
Camerawork’s:
Within the film there are several different shots I believe makes the film so affective.
The 1st camera shot is when the 2 detectives are walking through a house to find the second body. The cameras is almost behind the wall as the both detectives walk through the apartment, this tracks them but helps the audience concentrate on what they’re saying as it is an important piece of speech.
The 2nd camera shot I believe is affective is the handheld shot; this is a way the camera gets the audience involved in the film. By having handheld cameras it gives the shot a more wobbly and uneven effect, this is against a typical convention of a Hollywood film. This shot also gives more suspense and realism.
And Finally the shots throughout the film where the camera is positioned so the audience feels there involved with the situation. When detective Mills and detective Somerset talk to one and other the audience are at eye level.

MISE EN SCENE:
Throughout the film the Mise En Scene is used to create suspense, torches are used so that the audience can’t see everything straight away, by doing this it helps control what the audience see without it looking tacky.
Another Mise En Scene is the guns used, there used to describe the detectives personality. Detective Mills is shown as being very trigger happy and Somerset is shown as being very relaxed as he only draws his gun when he things he’s going to use it. His also shows him as being more confident.
Another prop used is the air fresheners which create the scene as being creepy. This also may show how many time he’s been back to the apartment to check on the body.
The Detectives also are described by the clothes they wear, Mills is shown by when he’s getting changed he just picks up clothes and puts them on but Somerset takes care of his clothes by putting them on carefully and they are crease free.

Sound:
The film always has sound in the background; this can add suspense or relax the audience, by doing this makes for a more effective reaction by the audience. In the library scene where Somerset is looking through books music is playing in through speaker then the scene cuts to Mills in his apartment, this is called Non diegetic and diegetic. You can see this when the music is playing in the library there is an echo but when it’s in the apartment there is no echo. This is to show a connection between them both.

Editing:
The best effect of editing is where there is a shot of someone looking through some binoculars, the edging of the binoculars are black so that the audience know they are looking through binoculars.
During the film there are a few continuity mistakes, the first one is where the janitor is scratching the name of the door near the start of the film he is about ¾ of the way through it then it goes back to being ¼ of it being script off. The second is when they go to the address of the man’s finger print found on the wall, the man who fires and runs away first has a black coat on, then the he has a cream coat later on in the chase.

Graphics:
The most affective and only graphics in the film is at the beginning titles, the dark quick flashing images and lines add to an “on edge” effect and the text matches the type of film it is. To much graphics within the film may end up with the film being confusing.

I believe that all these different effects make the film its best and why the film was so enjoyable.
