In lesson time, we went through the four main thriller openings, and had a look at each one of them closely.
These were:
-Discrete opening
-Traditional opening
-Blank screen opening
-Stylized opening
Each had their strong and weak points, but in the end my group chose our favourite to be the 'stylized opening' for many reasons. Some of these reasons were: starting with an establishing shot, which gives the audience a sense of setting, and also the time lapse, which enabled the viewers to realise where the film was located, and that it was in an extremely busy part of America. The time lapse was extremely clever to use, as in some ways, it symbolized the train, which starts off fast, and gets slower and slower.

Above, is the link for the introduction of 'Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3' which our group studied for a brief time in order to understand a stylized opening, and how it operates.
