inspired me in making my own thriller. Thesefuelements include opening scenes and titles to the music, colour and camerawork.
When analysing movie opening sequences I have looked into some elements that I think would be perfect for my own thriller. The opening for 'Silent Hill:Revelations' has quite a sinister feel to it with the still mannequins. The element I like is the use of still images but the camera still is moving around creating spacial awareness. The use of canted angles creates chaos and imbalance to an otherwise calm still. The light in the scene bursts from the windows creating an underwater feel but does not add much brightness to the scene. It is an effective use of light which I could use in my own thriller. Over the shoulder shots also create a sense of busyness to the scene and gives some interesting effects.

The beginning of 'Cabin in the Woods' before the opening scene also is rather good to look at. The tone of the scene is a red-ish brown which resembles blood and dirt creating the atmosphere for the movie. I liked the tracking close up of the blood. The camera follows the blood dripping slowly creating a haunting feel to it. This scene also uses animated stills like 'Silent Hill:Revelations' but does not use canted angles so it is less chaotic and more haunting.

Se7en is one of the most inspirational movies, especially the opening titles. I would like to replicate something similar to the music in the opening scene as it is rather textured with eerie and mechanical sounds. It somewhat resembles 'Portal' music with its mechanical whiring. This type of music causes a scratching effect which can almost resemble scratching on walls.
The movie also uses flittering titles with a handwritten feel to it which I would like to replicate in my likethriller. It looks almost like a projector flicking on and off which create an interesting effect.
