Other Thriller Examples..

This was one of the most effective thriller openings we watched. It captures your attention immediately and draws you in, making you want to watch the rest of the film (if there was one!). The appropriate elements are used and the flickering images are very powerful and add to the effect of the scenes. The shots are held steady throughout and this produces a clear image despite the deliberate flickering. Most of the shots were filmed close up, and despite the fact that a variety of shot distances should be used, this was the most appropriate way to film this particular opening. The material is very appropriate to the set task and all the aspects of the filming is relevant to the theme. The font and music is cleverly chosen to accentuate the meaning and add to the effect. The editing process was accurately carried out and different shot transitions were used to add variation. Titles were used in effective places and did not distract the attention from the scene.
