Analysis of student Thrillers

Using fast obvious cuts through out this opening sequence shows us that the genre if the film you are about to watch, the glitches make it obvious that it will be a thriller because they are abnormal and distort your viewing. The diegetic sound throughout is a fuzzy heart beat, this again makes the viewer know even before having any sense of narrative that they will be watching a thriller.
They have fitted the opening credits in with visual clips, this gives the opening credit mystery also it stops the viewer getting bored.
The lighting is dark and saturated which is another element of thriller.

Over all the clip defiantly leaves you with mystery and suspense, it also fits in many of the thriller elements but its isn't very original and you don't have a clear sense of narrative.



opening is in black and white which is a nice convention that shows us straight away that it is a thriller, there is the vulnerable female character/s, this is the damsel in distress which is a general convention of the thriller.
