As part of our contextual research for our coursework our team (Myself, Charlee Murphy-Frost, Imogen Welsford and Bethany Ainsworth-Coles) have been watching and analysing the first few minutes of various thriller movies so that we can discover and find out why these films were successful and what makes a good thriller opening sequence.
The first thing that i picked up on when reading our teams blogs is that AUDIO & MUSIC plays a key role in a thriller opening. It's used to help create a sense of atmosphere in the film and also to set a mood, accompanying what is happening on screen during the sequence. Our group have all picked up on this and have posted about the audio and music used in thriller openings and I think that the work we have done will help us to progress in the making of our own thriller opening.
When reading through my groups posts, Imogen's posts stood out. Her analysis' in both of the films that she looked at were very thorough and taught me a lot that I didn't already know. The point that I took the most information was her analysis of the actual title sequences themselves. She explained how the use of different colours and shots were essential in success or failure of an opening title sequence. Apart from Imogen's posts, I think our group as a whole have thrown up some very good ideas and points that we need to consider and research more into when producing our own thriller opening sequence.
