In lesson, we were told to research title sequences in thriller film openings which we thought the most conventional and what we were interested. We chose Arlington Road as we thought it had the most conventions of a thriller opening.
The 'Arlington Road' opening title sequence had different titles on top of shots of different significant things, for example; one shot had the production company on top of a shot of fence. The title sequences cast names consisted of the production company, actors/actresses, producers, directors and writers. The titles are clear, small and white so they can be seen against the dark background of pictures and so you can focus on the pictures and its significance. The pictures on the background are heavily edited so it creates suspense and it builds up tension for the audience.
Overall the title sequence does what it is supposed to; grab the audiences attention and make them intrigued to watch the film. The colour, the music, the video transitions all build tension and creates even more suspense. Arlington Road has the conventions of a good thriller opening and has successed in grabbing an audience.
