Thriller Opening

i like the way during the opening is that you never see the characters face, which gives this character a sense of mystery to him. The Close up of the weapons he is holding/carrying may indicate that he is a killer of some sort. I like the way that i has been put together and makes me want to watch this film afer seeing the opening scene.

I have used 'Art Of The Title' and 'Watch The Titles' to do some research on thrillers and analyse them.

Locations

These are locations we thought we could use for are thriller. As more idea's come we may have to change the locations due to the fact that the location we have currently thought about may not suit the story line.

The Ward Thriller

This image from the opening scene shows maybe a character in the film, having some sort of treatment done to her. The clothing she is wearing looks like a gown that you would wear in a hospital.

The colours in the frame are black and white, black maybe representing death or evil with in the film and white being a blank and useless.

Having the camera angle at a high level makes the character we are looking down on seem like she is not important and maye not a main character

The colours used in this frame are mainly black, again meaning death. All of the colours are dark which could mean the whole film my be evil and have death within it. The glass breaking may mean that the film may contain pain, punishment and suffering with a painful ending.

The mes en sence is dark and in what looks like to be a hospital, a corridor. Again the colours are dark and dull, giving the place a sense of evil and mystery. Having a corridor and night also give the location fear and terror to it. The angle of the camera makes the corridor bigger then it seems, giving the place a great size.

No Country For Old Men

this frame now shows the Characters face who seems to have mystery to him and this frame shows a little bit of smugness to him about what he has just done. It is not clear why he has done this action but may become clearly further into the film.

this frame the shows more about the character in the black, but is not clear why he has attacked the police officer. or what with. the character in the black has a blank facial expression on his face, on the other hand you can see that the police officer is trying to get something from around his neck and that he is choking on it.

this is a mid angle shot, allowing the audience to see all of the characters facial expressions.

you are then able to see where they are and the prop and costumes in this frame.

as the frame continues the figure in the background is blurred the comes into focus. this give the character a little bit of a mystery to him. also his costume being all black shows he maybe an evil character. The mise en scene shows that the two people are situated within a building, possibly the police station. The costume that the guy in the foreground is wearing helps show this as well. 

this picture shows the setting around in which the film is set in.

the mountains in the background give the place a sense of mystery, inclosing the setting into a significant space.

just by the setting, you can narrow it down to what type of genre the film maybe, which could be a western.

Sound: There is no sound track or music, but a man speaking giving us a background to what is or has happened.
