Title of the film:
The title of the film appears in a big, bold, white font with a silhouette in the background. This is so that it stands out on the page and is the viewers main focus point.
Setting/location:
It begins with an establishing shot of a car speeding down a road, showing it is a big city that this film is being set in. To avoid any confusion as to where the film is set there is a film to the left of the picture that says: 'Los Angeles' on it.
Costumes and props:
The costunming that we see from the characters is quite smart. As we see the the main character step out of a car in a big coat, but underneath he is wearing a suit. This shows that he is part of an upper class society in the city, but that his job is very good and he earns a lot of money. We also see the man in the lift in a suit which indicates that the workplace is very big and successful, regarding the time that the film is set.
Interesting camerawork/editing:
The shot that i thought was very effective was where there was the silhouette on crutches coming towards us slowly, and when it eventually reached the front of the screen there was a blackout and the shot faded out into the opening shot. I thought this was effective because it flowed very well and seemed continuous which made it seem very good. I liked this because although it is a very simple transition it is very effective.
Title and font style:
The font in this opening sequence was the sane as the others, in just a large, bold font on a contrasting black background. This is effective because it is seen in every title sequence for a thriller, so an audience may now expect to see this, and it makes the font stand out on the page so it's the audience's main focus point.
Story:
The story is kept very well hidden which keeps the audience in suspense and make them want to keep on watching this film s othey find out what has happened. It basically shows a car speeding down a road which immediately asks questions from an audience perspective because they want to know what has happened and why this car is speeding down the road. We later find out the man in the car works for s big ensurance company and is obviously a big name there as he is recognised straight away. We see a gunshot sound in his shoulder and find out he has killed someone so again questions are raised as to why this has happened and what happened leading up to this.
Genre (thriller):
The film is clearly a thriller because from the beginning there is no explanation to what is heppening and why this is happening. We want to know why he is speeding in his car, why he has a gunshot wound in his shoulder and why he has comitted a murder. There are questions asked and there is a tense atmosphere as we want to know what has happened and why.
How character are introduced:
The main character that we see in the car we do not know anything about them until they step out into the office. We find his name out instantly, Mr. Neff, because he must be big and successful at his work to be known instantly on a namen basis. This created an image in out head that this character is up to something, or has done something, but no-one suspects it because of the image he has already built to other characters in the film.
