The Structure of Thriller openings.

                                       The Structure of Thriller openings



The structure of the first video, The Shining, shown above is introduced to us with a black screen slowly introducing the Producer icon, then after there is a fade out from the distributer icon, which after we are introduced into a landscape view with non-diagetic sound added on to the tracking of the camera of the wide shot view. The camera is then moving along, tracking the car from the a birds eye view as if we are in the body of a bird viewing the whole surroundings. After all of this, the texts in blue start to appear giving us the director name, actors, film title, producer, screenplay and the directed by, after all of the opening credits have finished we then go back to the landscape views.


The second clip was, Panic Room, this clips also started off with a black screen fading into the Distributer icon, which after faded back out into a view of buildings whilst the credits of the producer, pictures, actors, film title, then we are introduced back into the actors, music editors, editors, production, director, produced by and written by and then directed by, however after all of the opening credits have finished we are introduced in a diagetic sound of a female speaking.


Lastly, the opening credit of Donnie Darko is introduced with a narrative over a black frame consisting of nothing which then leads onto the narrative opening. After all of the credits have finished we then get a tracking shot of the male character who is alone on the mountain, after the camera shot, wide shot, is used to show the landscape view of all other mountains and the nature, a non-diagetic sound is introduced which is a little upbeat with a person singing, we then see a variety of different types of shots and settings.
