In lesson, we were told to go on to 'Youtube' or 'Art of the Title Sequence' to research for a thriller film opening which we were interested in and which had used most of the conventions for an opening. The opening which I had preferred over the others was 'Arlington Road'. This was a good opening to look at as s had used most of the conventions for a thriller opening.
'Arlington Road' had used titles of the actors, name of production company, the director, the producer, co-producer, name of the editor and the title of the film itself. These titles were written in plain, bold white font and the font size was medium. This may have been done so that the audience can focus on the images shown and the titles at the same time.
Some of the shots had a negative effect used on them which creates suspense for the audience, they become intrigued as to why some shots are shown with or without effect. This was a good effect used as it many thrillers haven't used this effect in their openings. Also, the negative effect used works well with the various shot types we are shown.
Overall, the title sequence is enjoyable as it follows the conventions of a thriller opening. It attracts the audience into wanting to carry on watching the film.
