Double Idemnity

This Opeing Sequence is in black and white which inplies that it is an old opeining sequence and that all the colour thriller opening sequences we have viewed before are newer and more recent.. At the beginning of Double Idemnity we see a car speeding across the roads and not stopping for anything which gets the viewers worring and cautious to see if it is going to cause any damage to anyone else and cause a crime scene which are in most thrillers.

The sound goes well with the scar speed as it builds up tension and also adds ,more effect to the sequence which is a typical thriller convention.

There is a master shot where the two cars nearly collide which causes tension to the audience and also, like typical thrillers they have close-up shots regularly used throughout the whole opening to not give much information away.

Questions are asked as to why the man is in such a hurry to reach his destination , and also who he is due to the fact thsat we only get short snippets of his face during the sequence.
