These are how Character/s, Mood, Themes and Story Order are shown in
Thriller openings
Character:
- Binary oppositions between protagonist - hero and antagonist - villain are common, however they may not be introduced in all of the thriller openings.
- Antagonists in Thrillers are never supernatural e.g. aliens, wolves, vampires etc.
- In a thriller opening, the director of the film never makes it easy to see who the heroes and who the villains are - you never know who to trust.
- Mystery/Enigma may be created - by scenery, props or other characters, around a character.
- In most thriller openings, there is minimal dialogue, to create suspense.
Themes:
- Crime
- Urban decay - for example, dump sites, such as in Alice Creed
- Passion
- Morality/Immorality
Mood/Atmosphere:
- Suspense
- Mystery/Enigma
- Shock
- Claustrophobia
Story Order - The Narrative:
- Chronological and non-chronological order
- Some thriller openings use flashbacks
We have learnt this in our lesson, and we will definitely remember to use most of this information on what you will most likely to find in a thriller opening when making our opening to our thriller.
You need to then apply this to the openings that you have looked at , other wise it is little less than a copied piece of text and there isn't much point to that if you think about it.
