Briefcase containing “goods” Positioning- Characters very serious Body Language- square and upfront. Standing straight and professional Production Design Period/era- Modern day Colour design- Dull colours have been used Lighting- mixture of different lighting In my opinion this was a very good opening action- thriller sequence. It held a lot of mystery and was planned very well. They used several professional techniques in their opening sequence this made the scene look more professional.

Properties- using a car as transport to get to the town centre. Positioning- Character showing consciousness Body language- a bit scrunched up and nervous. Production Design Period- Modern day. Colour Design- mixture array of colours used. Lighting- pretty good in all situations. In my opinion this was also was a very good opening sequence, I believe this is a Philological thriller. They planned this well and it made me want to carry on watching it. overall they were both very good opening sequences, with different storylines. from beginning to end the main character shows signs of a disturbed mental state because of his erratic movement. he appears to be searching around his room frantically, because he's moving around frantically it shows that he is looking for something very important to him, not caring about what he destroys. In the end of the sequence, he finds the object which is his journal titled "mood composition". This shows how valuable his mood journal was to him and places importance on his mental state; people who write journals generally do it to let their feelings out. As he is reading his journal, the camera swirls inwards, almost as if he is falling into the book or an alternative universe. Again, emphasising his unstable mind, reality and perception of the situation. the opening sequence of deja vu is seemingly quite happy as there are families all smiling and laughing together it generally has a happy atmosphere, however the non-diagetic audio contradict against the visual. its almost creepy and mysterious and slightly sinister.
The 2 films I analysed were “Along Came A Spider” and “Silence Of The Lambs”. Collectively, we chose these because they both have good story lines and are very well known.
In the opening scene, “Along came a spider” used different camera shots to capture what the character is doing. In the film they show the location (Virginia Falls Dam 2 miles). They show the Protagonist (the women) and Antagonist (the man) together in the car. She must work for the FBI as she had an earpiece on listening to another agent. This type of secrecy is a typical convention of thriller films. A varied range of different angle of shots let the viewer know what is going on. The road the car is driving on is very quiet with nothing around them (almost like deserted/isolated land). This suggests the characters are all alone, setting the scene up for something creepy happen. The 2nd movie we chose was Silence Of The Lambs, the film’s opening scene is features one character. The character is running through a misty forest giving the audience a sense of drama, as well as the camera angles follow her through her journey through the woods. The Camera focuses on her breathing. This creates questions in the viewer’s head. The camera angles show a military course she was doing, which shows she is active/has a high level of fitness and is able to run away from possible dangers. At the end of the first scene the camera shows aboard with words saying “Hurt, Agony, Pain, Love”. These are strong words. Making the audience think of strict conditions throughout the course. Both films hold mystery, and questions to be answered. Eleanor. A Thriller is a broad genre. It can be found in film and television, and literature. Thriller is a wide genre holding many subgenres within it. Using different moods in Thrillers chosen by the producer or author this may heighten the viewers or reader’s feelings to grasp their interest into the genre even more.
Thrillers aim to keep the audience “on edge”. They do this as the plot builds to the twist if there is one. The thrillers often use plot twist, cliff hangers and red herring scenes to mislead the audience. A thriller movie often is an antagonist driven plot and features a protagonist to save a living thing, whilst overcoming lots of obstacles Many people mistake thriller movies as horror films as the two are quite difficult to distinguish apart, but once you know the difference it makes it much easier to tell them apart. Eleanor We chose SHEE as our production name as S, H, E, E are the first letters of our first names and because we are all female.
