The document provides analysis of key elements in the opening scenes of the film Se7en. It summarizes the introduction of the two main characters, Detective Somerset played by Morgan Freeman and Detective Mills played by Brad Pitt. The camera work establishes Somerset's living space and shows a mid-shot of a victim's body. The editing builds tension through a zoom into Somerset's face and a switch to a metronome. Diegetic police sirens and non-diegetic music are used to add sound effects that keep the audience on edge. Details in Somerset's tidy flat imply his career-driven and lonely nature.
