In this post, I will be focusing on an opening scene from a Horror
Thriller opening sequence.
1.In a horror
thriller opening sequence you can hear over the images and title sequences some
eerie and tense music, this is very common in this type of sequence because in
this sub-genre the directors want to make you uncomfortable, the music is
usually orchestral with strings because they make screeching noises which make
you unsure about what could happen.
2.In some horror
thriller movies this does not happen but in most there is usually a piece of
text, in this genre they usually say something like "based on a true
story" or they usually explain the story behind the film. the directors
chose to use a title page like this sometimes to create suspense before the
film starts. Sometimes in certain films there could be a freeze frame or a
screenshot where the film stops so it there can be aloud some text to narrate
what is happening in the film, this usually happens before something big.
3.In almost every opening sequence there I an establishing shot of
the landscape to set the scene for the first scene. it allows the audience to
see where the film is set.
4.In every film opening sequence you will see the production company’s
logo.
5. In some horror
thriller movies some directors prefer a different opening compared to usual to
create a sense of insecurity, these usually contain a lack of credits, a lack
of establishing shots and where the main characters are not seen.
