Thriller opening sequences research

 Duress:

  • I like their title and logo, the music behind it goes with the glitch effect.
  • The title is slow which is good, its kind of creepy
  • The close ups for a long time is scary and unusual 
  • Close up then back to credits and titles
  • Establishing shots are fast but give enough time to see them sand get a scary feel
  • dark lighting
  • goes from quick shots to credits (back and forth)
  • little snippets of shots then black out


 A Quiet place:

  • Establishing shots set the scene it engages the audience 
  • The shots are very still while the leaves fly in the wind and characters run and walk around
  • dark lighting
  • there is no sound which is suspenseful as they cant make a noise 
  • abandoned town
  • camera follows the character




 Suspense scene: 
  • Dark lighting
  • over shoulder shots
  • Blurred out character is suspenseful and helps the audience know they are bad as the come out of no where
  • Switch from girls feet walking to the guys feet walking 
  • shadows of people walking is scary  (following someone)
  • Effect is blurry like the girls thoughts she cant find her keys
  • Heart beat is good as we expected a scream but there was something we didn't expect
