The production of this Se7en opening re-make proved to be extremely challenging. We decided that my house would be the best location for filming as the darkness of the rooms proved to have the correct, low-key lighting for the majority of the scenes. Some scenes needed a very low key light, and because we filmed this sequence during daylight hours, so those particular scenes were filmed under a blanket whilst holding a torch onto what needed to be filmed. For example, this scene was filmed under a blanket with the torch from my iPhone shining on the picture:

We also had the difficulty of not having the same objects that are used in the original opening sequence so had to improvise with random kitchen utensils and put them together to make objects look similar to the original. For example, this was made from a cap opener and a toffee hammer:

Also to get the correct lighting as high key we used a small aquarium lamp and held it up at the right angle to get the correct shine and shadows on the objects which we were filming. This allowed us to capture a similar effect from the lighting to the original opening sequence for Se7en. For example, we used a garlic press for an object that closes quickly, to create a similar effect to the original.

To create the effect of dry skin on the hands, we used PVA glue which we then dried and picked at to create the effect of chipping it off with a Razor. However we did not have a razor so we used a soldering iron stand instead to create a similar visual effect.

To create the titles in the same style and design as the original, our group member Georgia Neale (1251) took screenshots of the original title designs and drew ours herself on her graphics tablet. This was to replicate the titles as close to the originals as possible. this was also does to help create a tense atmosphere which would be used to set up the rest of the film.
