Seven - Emma

Seven

Enigma Codes

These are used effectively to make the audience ask questions about what's happening.

• How was the person murdered?


• Why did the Police Man want Somerset to leave?


• Why did Somerset want to leave?


• Why was he so organised and precise?

• Why the metronome?
  


• Where were they? Which city?

These questions were raised by Leaving things out. Shot's of the first dead man didn't actually show how he was murdered, only a pool of blood next to him.

The tone in which the Policeman said that they couldn't wait for Somerset to leave was cold and hostile, making the audience wonder why.

His precision with his clothes and the metronome are very telling character traits.

Although they spoke about a city, they never specifically mentioned which one, leaving the audience wondering.

Mills

All of these qualities suggest charecter traits that will help the audience to relate more easily.
