analysis of previous thriller openings



This thriller opening scene is called "Dark Temptation" and was made in 2007.
This clip meets most of the marking criteria allowing this group to get a good mark. The group uses sound and music to build up tension right from the start as the first character is introduced when he enters the set, it is clear as it is shot in an empty set. As the first character moves through the set (his house) the camera man uses several shot angles mostly high angle to show he characters dominance as he walks up the stairs. It also uses many distances in this sequence of shots all of which are steady. the shot material is just right for the thriller genre as it includes a fight between both characters both of which are introduced well. The editing is good as they have used several different types of transition. titles are used well to introduce the character as well as the title of the movie. the characters are introduced clearly as the man is the antagonist beating/or killing a woman, the protagonist is not introduced as yet but probably will be later on in the movie.
