Research Into Thriller Opening - Panic Room

The opening credits are introduced before we see any characters, and are accompanied by shots of buildings. There is the sound of a clock ticking, indicating that time is an aspect of the film and this also builds suspense and makes the audience wonder what is to happen next. There is a sound bridge in the opening as we hear the character's voice before we see her; the sound links the two shots together. The final shot we see is of the first character.

We analysed the opening of the film 'In The Cut'. The title enters the frame whilst there is a man skating past. The trails look as though there is some sort of blood on them, which indicates an aspect of what is to come further into the film, and also gives an idea of what the film is about. This helps to create an atmosphere for the audience and builds up suspense.

Consideration of Target Audience

We are going to create a 'Spy Thriller' which will not contain any graphic or disturbing footage and so we have decided that the rating for our film will be 12+. This is because we  feel it is suitable for people aged 12 and over, however younger viewers may not understand the concepts of the film.
