Brad Pitt and MM

By one hand the Marlboro Man, is alone but not lonely man which lives in a peaceful place working hard. He is a cowboy from the old fashion mode. He has no worries and at the same times a really good style of life and very attractive one. By the other hand, we have a really different character from the most modern world which is not alone, he take pictures and have fun with girls. He is cool in other words. Both of them are selling something good for fashion, mostly in young children, this is very convincing for the young people because they want to be like him and this influences very much in their lives. They sell this things in a really different way, Brad is taunting the other man by taking photos with the beautiful girl and makes him be stronger in the same way which the Marlboro man shows power, but doing different things with different points of view in life.
In the Se7en movie, from the scene we have just seen, where they are starting to have a better relation or maybe to know more about each other, Brad Pitt when he enters into his house, he goes first to hug his dogs and play with them as if they where part of his family. So this gives him a better good looking in the sense of good man.

Se7en

The genre in this film has many topics which include: "a mix of taut thriller, engaging mystery, and gruesome horror show”.
In the elements of horror, there can be included the mystery, and the deaths of the people. For example in the first crime, which was on Monday, the first victim was a fat guy which was forced to eat until his stomach bursts. This is a good example where the disgusting and scary part comes. We do not see the act, but we can imagine it through the crime scene and what the characters say.

Production Journal. Moonlight Productions..

In the documental we had to make many changes to get to our final project. We had included three B.Rolls, which where gotten from youtube. For making this action, I had to download a specific program which only works in Moxila Firefox. This program is called Download Helper, which is for downloading videos or music from the internet without problems and this was very helpful for us. So once we had this videos downloaded, I send all of those to Honorio for adding them into the final project. From the other side, Santos had done all the subtitles in English and in Spanish, and Honorio had plotted everything in and also had added its names. Before all this, we had also analyzed every single part of the video, for making good corrections, we adjusted the sound, added one non-copyright song which is a very good one for the case, because creates mystery and an atmosphere of darkness.  
We have to make some more changes, because we noticed that there is one b roll included which is very long at the beginning.

Noir convention in se7en

Noir elements of opening:
-colorless (dark ambient/atmosphere had been created, because of the urban/city decay) Lighting contrast.
-Part of police office (Building) Dutch long shot angle
-The crimes where situated in the city, where very satanic and also had to do with the literature.
-There was digestive sound, and they convey to the situations. The sound is always creating a sense of mystery and also in the movie, is always in the night or dark places. Most of the times, it is raining.
-The appearance of the paparazzis, people who investigate the case in addition to them.
-The movie has good effects, as for example when the character puts his glasses on, the view changes, this gives the viewer a sense of being the the character and getting in more involved in his role.
