Screen Shots of the Title Sequence Splice

This picture shows that the theme of this title sequence is in a lab, or some sort of medical location.

The Font on this screen shot, is green, giving a dirty, grimy kind of feel. It is showing that some sort of venom has being consumed by a body. the grimy impression suggests the film i going to be gory. 

The font of this screen shot has suggested that someone is typing in a Lab. It could suggest an old fashioned type writer. This screen shot also shows mutations of scales. 

The design of this picture is dark and grimy. All green the writing submerged into th

This shows a part of the body, suggesting it is about individual parts of the body.

This is suggesting horror/Thriller shown through the dar colours used. Black is like death and green in the body is not a good thing.

Every film is legally required to have opening an opening title sequence. This is for copyright reasons. The opeing sequence to a film has to be made entertaining whilst showing the names on each slate. This is becuase they want to keep the audience entertained throughout. The opening can also give a small insight into what the film will involve, and what will be in the film.e the body, showing its not human.

Napoleon Dynamite Opening Credits Remake

Fight Club Spoiler

The thriller film 'Fight Club' is a strange film that makes sense at the start. The film starts of quite realistic. A man, who plods through life, suffers with insomnia. He is refused medication to relive it and so to help him sleep he attends support clubs where people are sad about serious cases, which then helps him to sleep. But Marla Singer joins the clubs he has been attending to, she does not have an illness either, therefore she reminds him of what he is doing, and his insomnia returns. They then negotiate days to attend the groups so that they do not see each other.

The main character then meets a man on a plane trip, Tyler Durdon, who makes soap. After the plane journey, he returns to his flat to find that it has been destroyed, as a result of this, he calls Tyler and they go to a bar, they then end up having a fight, after they then go to Tylers house. They continue the fights and end up making a 'Fight Club'.

Marla calls the main character at Tylers house, she has overdosed on drugs. He leaves the phone but Tyler finds it and saves Marla, taking her back to his house, having a sexual relationship with her.

More men join the 'Fight Club' and it ends up becoming 'Project Mayhem'. The main character becomes confused and tries to ask Tyler questions. This is where the mystery and suspense is starting. Tyler then disappears shortly after they have a car crash; this creates more confusion and mystery, keeping the audience on the edges of their seats.

The main character then attempts to shutdown the whole club, he then slowly realises that Tyler and himself are the same person with two different personalities. When the main character is sleeping, Tyler controls his body.

He then discovers that Tyler has a plan to destroy all the credit card companies in a city and tries to stop him. The main character ends up conquering Tyler by shooting himself and the story ends with Marla and him holding hands watching the buildings collapse.

The film was successful at being a Thriller because it had an unsuspected twist within it that confused the audience, therefore the audience had to try and work out what was going on as the main character was finding out too. This created suspense and mystery throughout the film.

My opinion on the film is that, it does thrill, it creates mystery and suspense by being confusing. I personally think that the film was messed up, and I was quite disturbed by the end of the film. But overall it was good becuase it fuffilled the purpose, and many people like the film.

Collage for Thrillers

This collage of pictures of thrillers, and things accosiated with thrillers, shows what films and themes are in a thriller. The pictures show, the kind of settings used, such as cities or dark ally ways, and the lighting used in thriller films. They also show what the characters wear and what kind of image they put across to the audience. This collage helped me to summarise as a whole what a thriller is and what they are all about.
