Conclusion - Thriller Openings

After analysing all 5 thriller opening i noticed that they all had several common factors. They adopted a common colour scheme of black, red and white. The first two were used to connote danger with the latter implemented to add an element of innocence and purity. They also all used parallel sound to create the narrative and used a sinister tone to build tension. The most common shot used was a CU. This is to add emphasis on the key aspects of the opening. However the main variation was the amount of CGI they used. This largely depended on their time period of release. For example, Casino royal is relatively new so was predominantly CGI however Psycho was created back in the 60s so the only evidence of CGI was the titles, and those in themselves were extremely simplistic. 

In conclusion i found that the majority of thriller opening all follow the same basic formula but each have their own unique twist to make it fresh, exciting and to set it apart from the others.
