seven uses mise-en-scene to suggest different characteristics for the two different characters. Through the mise-en-scene you can tell that the two policeman are binary opposites. As Brad Pitt is the trendy cop with the leather jacket and chews gum. Not much is known about His character during the opening scene as only his appearance is seen for a brief moment.
However with Morgan freeman he is seen in his apartment. The apartment is clean and white which is a complete contrast to typical thriller of darkness. Also a chess board is in sight showing wisdom and is smart. his brown suit is a typical plain policeman's suit which the audience would expect to see. At the end of the scene he is seen to be alone in the room showing hes alone meaning he keeps the apartment clean and tidy but also means that the chessboard is a bit weird.
