'Se7en' Clip

How does it create mystery and suspense?

Whats in the box?
What does the prisoner know?
Why is the prisoner so mysterious?
Why do they want to kill him?

This clip creates mystery and suspense by how the music is quite tense and low level and giving the audience questions to think about. The camera keeps going back and fourth to a helicopter that's probably looking for the prisoner. Giving the situation there in, with one of the characters opening a box and being shocked of what is in there. Which also gives the more suspense. As for the other character has a gun to the prisoners head so he could be trying to collect information out of him about what is in the box. I'd rate the film 5/5 for it on being a thriller. It shows the main signs of mystery, suspense and questioning.
