Comparison of my ideas to other films.

I have looked at two psychological thrillers and analysed them, I have then compared them both to the ideas that I have for my own film.



I've analysed up to 3 minutes.
The titles that have been used are written so that the words are shown backwards on the screen. Slow and quiet music has been used to make the opening seem eerie to help with the genre of the film. Non-diegetic sound effects have been used of birds and crickets as well as creaking noises again this adds to the genre of the film. The opening is set in a forest, its fast pace as we see the running of the main character. The opening has a great use of open narrative.



I have analysed up to 2 minutes.
The titles that have been used are very basic and are just black block capitals. The opening is set in a graveyard and then changes to a road which then helps to keep an open narrative as the audience doesn't know what is going to happen. It starts of black and white and then blurs into colour. The opening has music of which we hear trumpets and then diegetic sounds of church bells and children singing.

I have chosen to analyse these openings as they are both completely different from each other but they have some things that I can compare to my film opening.
The Titles in the silence of the lambs are written backwards to go with the theme of the film, I think that they must make more sence during the rest of the film.

This is the same as our film as we want to use a handwritten type font to go with the theme of the tick list.
Within the opening of straw dogs it starts off with the scene in black and white and we want the part with the CCTV footage in black and white as well.

We want to start the opening with a montage of news reports with flashes of photos of the missing girl, CCTV footage of when she was last seen, and information of what she looks like. We then have a clip of the girl in her bathroom cleaning her teeth when she bends down we see a villain in the mirror and then when she gets back up hes gone. The audience is then shown a conversation between the parents and the child at the breakfast table before the girl goes to school. We have a good open narrative and the music we are going to use we start of slow and quiet and as the montages get quicker the music will get quicker as well and it will also get louder.
