We used some graphic match shots such as the teddy bear shot where Natasha holds the bear to the camera and I pull the bear away from the camera, this links the two shots together in a more creative way which interreges the audience.

We also used two shots that we fit together of the room the victim has died in and the sister walking in to the empty room with the body flickering on the floor. This was done by filming the same room in the same position but with different composition. This looks quite jumpy an d creepy, we got influence form SE7EN for this part because the opening sequence to SE7EN immediately captures your attention because it flickers and  jumps and we wanted a similar effect. SE7EN also creates a very psychological atmosphere which we were going for, we wanted to try and make things jumpy and psychologically interesting because that was the preferred sub-genre according to our audience in our thriller vox pops.

In our vox pops one of the main points made by our audience was tension and mystery which we tried to focus on the most as it was a popular answer. We did this by speeding up the pace and having quick jumpy shots everywhere, this gave a sort of schizophrenic atmosphere to the opening and made it more fascinating for the audience to watch because there is a lot going on. I think our audience would be attracted in our thriller because we covered a lot of their points about what they like best in a thriller so it should fit their expectations and interests.

We made our opening appeal to our audience by making it very tense and fast which is one of the main things our market mentioned in our vox pops survey. To achieve this we used lots of quick shots and edited them getting faster near the end of the opening to build up tension and create suspense in the audience. We used our music as a guide line to make the shots faster and fit with the beat, this was easy because the song naturally gets more dramatic further on which links well to our thriller piece.

We used lots of close ups of body parts and extreme close ups of features such as eyes to show more detail in the characters. We also used close ups because they create distress in the audience as it is showing the character uncomfortably close to the camera which invades personal space, it also hides the characters identity which makes the audience question  who it is and why they are there. We also used lots of high angle shots to make the victim look powerless and vulnerable, we also used high angle shots for the memories because it makes them  seem insignificant to the situation in comparison to the missing poster which is taken as close ups and straight on which makes it seem more important.

The music that we used is very slow ad sad but it does sped up in pace near the end which made it easier to build up tension with fast shots, this was a necessary element of our thriller as nearly all of the people we asked in our vox pop said that it is one of the most important parts of a thriller opening to catch the audience’s attention right at the start and keep them, interested. . The music also had very clear beats which helped us to fit the shots to for example we would transition on every beat, this makes it flow better throughout making the viewer  more interested.

For the mise-en-scene we showed the memories that she finds in the box. For example the necklace which is also used by the victim in a flashback when she was alive.  This made the item more relevant and gave the audience an answer to why it is important. One of our answers to what do you look for in a thriller opening? Was that they liked it what something is showed such as a dead body and later on you go back and explain what happened and sow more about what happened in the past, we taught flashbacks would be a good way to take on that answer.
