Example thriller film openings : (35) film openings thriller examples - YouTube
Why did I choose to watch this?
I wanted to watch an example of a thriller film opening and get ideas from different movies for our script. At first, my group and I wanted to do a comedy, but after some thinking we started leaning more towards the thriller genre.
What stood out from the film opening?
-Visuals and Sound
After watching the film opening, I noticed the mix of pictures and videos being used while displaying the credits. It seemed to be the setting of where the film is going to start. I like this idea because it helps the audience become familiar with where the characters will be and gives them additional context. Another thing I picked up on was the music. The music used during the credit scene felt serious and almost 'mysterious'. It gave a serious mood, already setting the tone of the film. The sudden screams and screeches help create the mood of the film as well. Because, now the audience expects a death or pain to happen.
I also liked the short shots during the credits, it gives the audience information but not enough for them to understand what exactly is happening. This allows the audience to engage in the film and builds curiosity.
-Editing
In some parts the credits would glitch out and then reappear. I liked this a lot because it hinted there was something strange or weird happening. Something, out of the norm. This gives the audience feelings of unease and creates tension as they don't know what happened or why. Some parts of the opening are overlapped. This could be inferred as symptom's of stress, when the brain is spiraling. Lastly, the different filters being used creates an imbalance. Some parts are in, color, black and white, red and monotone/dull. Using these different filters separately can indicate feelings of their own, but back to back can cause confusion and tension.
