Task 6 - Nine Frame Analysis


Task 6

The film I have chosen to do my Nine Frame Analysis on is 'Se7en'
Se7en is a horror, which stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.


Frame 1: In frame 1 there is an empty book, what this could tell me about the film is, that maybe in the film the book is very important, and maybe the person is about to wirte mportant things in it, for example it could be plots and plans to murder. Also it looks very old and dark, which could suggest that this person is lonely and has a dark villanous side ot him.

Frame 2: In this frame, we can see an image of someone's hands, what this tells me is maybe it is the hands of a victim. There is two rays of light going over the image, which may be coming from a window, this shows that the room is very dark and hasd a quite atmosphere.

Frame 3: In this frame, is an extreme close up shot of someone's fingers, where the skin is being cut with a razor. What this could suggest to the audience, is that this mysterious man, is villanous and dangerous. The shot also suggest that this killer feels no pain or sympathy for himself or others. Also the razor is a very dangerous weapon, which may show us that this character has no fear of dangerous weapons.

Frame 4: This shot shows that the hands picking out a book from a stack of different books. This shot could be significant in the film, because it may show the importance of the books. The books could possibly have clues for the "mystery" or "secret", as the darkness and roughness of the books show they have been kept saf which could hold secrets or plans.

Frame 5: This shot shows the person's hands and that he/she is sticking a photo on the list. This could suggest many things for the film. It could show that this mysterious person is plotting something of a person, or maybe is writing a note of an event. This could be very important for later on in the film, because seeing this book and photo could tell us or reveal a story.

Frame 6: This is a high angle shot looking down at a sketch/drawing of a man's face. This shot is very significant and could suggest that this drawing is of an important character in the film or has a relation or link to the person drawing it. It is also very dark and the light is mainly focused on the image, once again this is done to maybe show the audience the importance of this sketch.

Frame 7: This shot is an extreme close up of the persons hands. I can see thst this persons hands are dirty and rough, with plasters round his fingertips. This extreme close up shot shows the significance of this persons hands, as it could suggest to us this persons character. Also this person is sticking something down in his book, what this tells us, is that maybe this person is recording something or making a book of some kind.

Frame 8: This shot is a follow up of shot 7 and is another close up, where we can see this person is carefully putting his sheets together in a book or note pad form. The director uses this shot to maybe show the importance of this book this person is creating.

Frame 9: This is an extreme close of the person cutting out the word "GOD". This is very important, because it tells us that this person is possibly religious and believes in Go or maybe he is doing a bad sin and wants to make a note of it that he is going against God's will.
