Title Sequences

My title sequence for my movie is going to look similar to the 1 you see below which is take from the movie The Impostors.

My opening title sequence is going to start of with Writing and then switches to the film to reveal the vibe up slowly and then go back to Writing and then to Part of the film again.

I find this way quite entertaining as it teases the audience and also keeps them focused rather than them just reading a whole lot of text and loosing concentration due to the movie taking so long to start.

Conventions of an Thriller movie

After a while, we wrote the conventions of Thriller movies down.

The Conventions of a Thriller Movie are :

*Violence

*Mysterious

*Dark Scenes

*Eerie music

*Suspense

*Enemies

*Shock

*Screams Tension

*2faced characters

* A Twist *The Unexpected

*Crime Scenes.

After we did this, we began to watch the opening sequence of the film 'Memento'(Nolan, 2000, U.S.) which enabled us to write some detailed notes and also spot the conventions we had previously written down .

Wallander ( Firewall , BBC )

Feelings that i feel are ,
Uncomfortable and Nervous } Due to the Eering music
The intro is opened by the eerie music
You dont see any characters untill a good few seconds after you see the setting
Back And Fourth Close up shots of two girls which then introduces them to the film
The two girls seem to be :
Vulnerable - Because they are walking in the middle of bascicly the middle of now where and they are also young.
Nervous - The way they are walking is not casual , it is almost as if they are power walking and trying to get away from something even though they do not tend to be looking back.
Determined and slyly aggressive - Their walk is powerfull and the body posture of how they are walking is determined because as i said it looks like they are determined to either get away or reach their destination without running.

At this moment of time the questions that are going through my head are Audience:

Who are the girls?
Where is this place?
Why are they out in the middle of no where?
Whats going to happen, Why are they Rushing?

Costumes and Facal Expressions:

The way they dress and there facial expressions and also the state of their hair shows signs of being rebelious . The one with the red hair shows this more due to red connotating fiery, ander , hot headed etc.
Her facial expressions gives signs of that she is determined and she looks angry which could hint that she may be part of the violence. (backs up my point on being rebelious).


This is a screen shot of the knife used in the opening scene, the blood covering it shows elaborates on the fact that the girls are ruthless and do not follow the stereotypical female.

[ Wallander Notes ]

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.

Kiss Me Deadly

Kiss me deadly starts off with a women running which straight away brings attention the audience and makes them ask questions what is she running from? Why is She Running?

It also creates a sense of fear due to the fact that she is running in the middle of a road.

The sound goes well with the sequence due to it building im masses of tension and also, the diagetic screeching sound of the car rearing around her gives that ' Thank God' feeling as she nearly lost her life.

The Mans Car that she boards seems to be a stranger and before he lets her in his dialouge was ' You nearly Wrecked My Car' he does not sound like he is in a happy mood for her to get in without any hesistation creates more questions in the audiences head as the viewers are wondering ' Where is the Man going to Take or Do with Her?

Kiss me deadly is a weird thriller opening but it follows the thriller conventions but making the audience ask questions straight from the start.

Brick

Brick has a successful, typical opening sequence that matches

the genre of a thriller movie. Brick uses diffrent types of conventions

which relates back to thrillers we've seen and thrillers overall. The conventions thrillers that are include in the opening sequence of brick are conventions such as , close ups ,crime scence a dead person (in this case a women) and an adbandoned setting.

The questions these conventions make us ask are :

HOW DID SHE DIE ? WHY IS SHE DEAD ?

WHO IS SHE ? WHAT DID SHE DO TO DESERVE THIS?

The film's narrative centers on a hardboiled detective story that takes place in suburbia. Most of the main characters are high school students. The film draws heavily in plot, characterization, and dialogue from hardboiled classics. The title refers to a block of heroin, compressed roughly to the size and shape of a brick.



SNEAKY FACT :

BRICK WAS FILMED IN ONLY 20 DAYS AND THE EFFECTS WERE CHEAP EFFECTS USED ON THE CAMERA.
