'SEVEN' Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman
Here you can see the title is written in red like blood which symbolises there is going to be blood and gore in the film.
Furthermore the director sets up the two detectives as opposites in the opening sequence. Morgan Freeman's character does things very maticulously and is dressed smart and in comparision Brad Pitt's character is messy as he has his shirt undone and tie loose. This sets up the duality in the rest of the film - Brad Pitt's character as more of a fiery character who does things without thinking and Morgan Freeman's charcter as a detective who follows the rules and thinks things through.
In addition whenever the scene is outside it is always raining. Whenever the characters are inside it is very dark and there are lots of shadows. Both of these concepts set up the film as sinister and unwelcoming.
