Camera:
At the begining of the clip, there is an over the sholder shot, focusing on Morgan Freeman doing up his tie, this suggests that he is a business man with the clothes that he is wearing. The camera then is first placed at a low angle and as the dead body is wheeled across the screen, the camera then tilts upwards over the body. this creates empathsis on the body, showing clearly the genre of the film, which creates tension for the veiwer. When Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are standing in the rain, the camera is then positioned at a low angle with a two shot, this focuses on their converstation taken part, with also the two main characters that are featured in the film. This camera position is still being held, but as the actors begin walking, the camera tracks. There is also an extream close up on the glasses that are being placed on the bed side table by Morgan Freeman as he is sitting in bed. This camera shot empathsises the sounds that are happening at the same time along with the mise en scene. The camera zooms in slowly upon Morgan Freemans facial expressions while the noise of the metranome is in the background, the camera changes shot frequently between Morgan Freeman and the metranome. This creates tension as the noise is often realted to suspense.
Sound:
At the beginning of the scene, while Morgan Freeman is first shown making a cup of coffee, there are sounds of sirens in the background, this shows the genre of the film due to the fact that veiwers often relate sirens to an unsafe place. One of the actors that is playing a dector, states 'the wife shot her husband' its like its almost an everyday occurance, the way that he says it, again refering back to an unsafe place that the film is set. There is a strong link to the title with the words 'over the next 7 days' that is said in the converstaion between the main two characters. While Morgan Freeman is in the bed, just before the credits, there is a thunder sound to introduce the titles, with the use of the lound noise, it empatheses the genre of a thriller film. As the credits are being shown, there is an up beat music that creates tension and suspenase.
