Past Students Openings

This clip is a very effective thriller opening. The strength's of this clip include the eiry music in the background as well as the dark atmosphere in the flashbacks. The main character's tone of voice also helps in creating the thriller genre as you can her the fear in her voice, which has an impact on the viewers. Also, the recording frame and the typing when the credits are shown adds to the effect of her being questioned or being in some sort of interview at a police station. However, the slow pace of the opening may not catch the audiences attention which can be a weaknesses of the clip.




This clip is another opening of a thriller film. This is also a very good opening because of many reasons. One reason is due to the music in the background which goes with the thriller genre and the house being shown at the same time. The house seems haunted because of the dead tree's around and the shots taken to add to the effect. Furthermore, there is also dead flies which may indicate that the hosue has not been in use for a long time. The sounds of the door being slammed shut is also a strength which creates the tension because you cannot see who is closing the doors. The weaknesses of the clip are that the slow moving pace may not grab the attention of the audience which is similar to the clip above.
