An introduction to Thriller Films

We were introduced to Thriller films by looking at last years media class groups opening sequence to a Thriller film that they made.They only made the first scene and titles. Looking at these gave the class an idea of what was to be expected from us ourselves and also to the idea of music and shots that we could use.

One opening sequence that i would like to comment on in particular was "End of the line". This is the one that i watched the most amount of times so got the chance to evaluate better.They used one amazing shot that stays in my head and that was the shot of the London Eye sped up.This was effective as watching the transition of time in a quick and interesting way made the opening sequence a lot more intriguing as you ask yourself, "Why are we watching the London Eye revolving quicker?" and also gives you the location of where the Thriller is likely to be set or connected to as why would you have a shot of the London eye revolving sped up if your Thriller was based in America and has absolutely nothing to do with London?
