The Structure Of Thriller Openings

In class we analysed four different film openings which showed up the four main openings usually used. 


These four were: 
- Discrete
- Blank Screen
- Stylised 
- Traditional 


In the discrete film opening we watched, ('Arlington drive') we saw different random shots, with establishing shots and credits. 


In the blank screen film opening we watched, ('Dead calm') we saw many different things, including: fade in shots, title and credits on a black canvas, and large emphasis on the title. 

In the stylised film opening we watched, ('Mezrine') we saw a clever opening, we was mainly done by having two screens on a black background, and having them both play the same scene, but at two different angles. 


In the traditional film opening we watched, ('Panic room') we saw many establishing shots, with a birds eye view, and also a brief introduction to all characters in the film.
