In this paper I will assess and evaluate the clip from the movie Seven, I will place focus on the areas of Mise En Scene, lighting, Sound, Setting and technical details such as Camera angle and Camera movement. I will create arguments and will back them up with references from the movie and other related material.

At the start of the scene Nine, you see Somerset walking and getting

First Somerset is dressed very smartly and looks very articulate, whereas mills look very scruffy and un groomed. Mills looks like the whole case is getting on top of him. This is shown very clearly as the camera cuts back to him, the angle is looking down on him from behind, and it looks as if were looking down on him and you can feel all the weight on his shoulders as he anguishes in her chair. On the other hand Somerset stills looks very “calm and collected” which is another contrast from when he first arrived in the library he was in a similar position as mills.

As he walks passed the bookcases looking for books on the seven deadly sins, the camera follows him from behind the book cases, the camera angle is facing up towards Somerset which gives the impression that he has the power and control because we are looking up at him. Which is completely different from the camera angle when he first walked into the library where the camera was looking down on him. This shows the change of fortunes that he has had since arriving at the library form outside in the city.
