Se7en Conventions of Noir

Within my own production I could use conventions from se7en, such as the ticking metronome and the busy urban city sounds. Techniques such as these establish the environment the film is set in furthermore, with both contrasting sounds connotes the relationship the character has to his environment. The character Detective Summersets is surrounded with unease and chaos of the noise around him, trying to block out the madness with the metronome. The clever uses of sound used to establish the characters relationship to their environment could be an influence to the opening of my own production.
