Editing In Se7en...

I looked at the editing of the thriller Se7en. Throughout the opening sequence there are lots of jump cuts to show the fast pace of the film. This also gives a straight sense of time and it's easy for the audience to follow.
There is a long take when Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are walking down the street. This makes all the attention of the audience focus on the actors and the conversation they are having. In the scenes with two actors the 180 degree rule is used. Shot reverse shot is used frequently when the actors are talking to one another. Also the editing is done in a way that Morgan Freeman has more screen time than Brad Pitt to show his dominance.
After this section there is a montage sequence with credits. The credits are written in white, craved writing to add to the genre of the film. The montage is of the killer but you don't actually see him/her. You can tell this by the action happening bu also becasue the montage is fast paced and automaticly creates suspense for the audience.
