Film Opening- Hall Of Fame Reseach

Hall Of Fame

To get a clearer understanding of an opening of a thriller I researched into other students from previous years thriller opening that they have produced this helped me gain ideas about the thriller opening my group was going to produce. I looked at many of the thriller opening that were available but the one that I was interested in was Catechize.

 Sound - The non- diegetic sound that they used was very effective and it set the scene of the thriller, the music built up the tension for the audience. Also the use of the diegetic sound of the tap water and clock set the mood , which was very effective.



 

Camera Angles- There were different type of camera angles used however the camera angle that was used the most was Extreme Close Up. The use of ECU on the eye was effective because there was a use of diegetic sound which was the noise of the tap water dripping.This could represent innocence. Also the the second example of the ECU of the face emerging through the glass window is a good use because it builds up suspense about who's behind the door.

 

 Editing- There were lots of different editing used for example the black and white effect this sets the mood of the thriller opening and makes it seem more scary.Secondly the jump cuts that was used makes it more tense as the cuts were not in order and there for make the audience figure out what happens

 

Mise En Scene- Clear setting were not shown, however there where mise en scene such as the tools shown that were shon. This is effective because it gives thoughts about how the victims were killed/injured which is most likly using these tools.
