This is the beginning of the Thriller. Would you believe Stu isn't here, never mind.

We have spent this lesson looking at previous Thriller opening sequences made by LongRoad students, and we also watched the opening of 'Se7en'.

Here is an opening that our group thought was really good:



Structure/narrative and performance, the structure of the piece was really easy to follow , it didn't try to tell you the whole story in the opening, it did what it meant to by just doing the titles in a effective way. The narrative was clear throughout the opening, and the audience was able to tell that it was about.

Camera work - the camera work in the opening showed a varied amount of shots. The us of this made the opening more exciting and was able to keep the audience interested. The change between shots was fast which worked well with the pace of the opening.

Editing - The use of filter was excellent it made the opening seem distorted and worked well for a thriller. The ink in the bath was also good as it gave a clear and imaginative effect of blood.

Sounds - The soundtrack was the same throughout the opening and worked well with the rest of the thriller.

Titles - The titles were clear and simple whicvh worked well.
