Title:
The title is in a very different format to most others because although the font is big and bold, it is black on a yellow background, unlike most others that have a bold white font contrasting on a black background. The colours of yellow and black could be used to represent the danger in the film.
Setting/location:
The setting/location is first seen through an establising shot, which is seen as a point of view of either a plane or helicopter. It begins by just showing the sea but then pans up to show the land ahead of the plane/helicopter. This is effective because you know they are right by the sea instanly, and you begin to ask questions asking whether the sea will play a later role in the film.
Costumes and props:
We only see costuming of the two girls as they walk away from the cab. One of them is dressed in a very gothic style, with a leather jacket, jeans, and we see is covered in blood holding a knife. The other is also fressed in balck but is just casual, with a jumper. This is effective because the colour black can help represent that the two characters are dark characters.
Interesting camera work/editing:
The piece of editing I thought was the best and most interesting was when we see the girl on the left drop the knife, and the title credits then come in. I thought this was effective because it all seems like one motion in which she drops the knife and the titles come in once she has dropped it. It is clear that the shapes in black on the yellow background is the outline of the knife as it enters from the top of the screen, with the point first, and falls in the shape of a triangle which is used to resemble the knife.
Title and font style:
The title and font style is very basic it is a black font that is reasonably bold, on a contrasting yellow background. This is done to make the font stand out on the page and be the only thing that the audience's attention is on.
Story:
The story is kept very secret to an audience member. All we understand from this opening sequence is that there is a cab driver who has been severely beaten by two girls, and later we see one of them drop a knife which then the viewer immediately understand that this driver has been stabbed during this assult. This does what any successful title sequence does, which is leave the audience asking questions, such as, why have they stabbed him?, what did he do to motivate this?, who are these two girls?, why did they do this?
Genre:
It is clear that it is a thriller because we are kept asking questions as to why this event has happened, but also we have seen that there has been a murder which is iften incorporated in most thrillers. It also leave's questions being asked and having a lot of tension which most thrillers do.
How characters are introduced:
The characters are introduced in a very negative way, the two girls instantly a shown as being very negative, bad characters as they have killed someone and are just walking away casually as if they have done nothing wrong. We are introduced to these characters in a very negative way so we do not really like them but also cannot understand why thye have done this.
