Thriller Opening Research

Me and my group have been researching different thriller film openings in order to gain some of idea of what makes a thriller opening draw the audience in and sets up the film for a fantastic ride. 'Clockwork Orange' we were really interested in by it being a very controversial thriller film and having a fantastic plot. However we were looking at the opening which shows the main characters eyes stairing straight into the camera which proves to be very scary and serious, one of his eyes has very noticeable eye make up. Then the camera zooms out to show the main character with the rest of his gang and him talking with a voice over to great effect. We are deciding whether or not to use these techniques in order to create our opener.

  1. For each of these, add written textual analysis of either their codes and conventions or the features that make the opening sequence special.
