film Title: As it was one of the first ever thriller films it would have been quite hard to tell the difference between film title weather it be a thrill or for example a comedy. But the film title is quite common to a thriller as they normally look very big and bold and every time is nearly almost the color white. These kind of film titles always gives the impression of something exciting happening in the movie and this is always a good thing because the audience always wants that felling when the watch the opening of a movie that its going to be as good as they expecting and wont let them down suggesting that they might think that they have not got what they paid for.
Setting/Location: the location and setting first of all takes place in a car. The unusual thing about the scene was that the car was driving in the road at very high speeds, as well as breaking red lights the car was also driving very dodgy suggesting that at this point the audience would of been thinking why is this happening and what is making the person in the car drive like this. So the scene has done exactly what is was meant to do which is to make the audience exciting. After that the scene is set in a building, which turned out to be his office and then we also find out that he had been shot so the location turns out to be perfect for this scene.
How The Opening Sets Up A Story: The opening sequence sets up the rest of the movie by firstly making the audience excited about what is going on because the opening sequence shows a person driving frantically in the streets of New York braking traffic lights and nearly crashing on a number of occasions. And if that was not enough excitement we then discovers that the person that was driving the car turns out to have been shot in the shoulder. This again makes us think why he got shot in the first place.
Costumes/Props: The person in the opening sequence is wearing a suit and also driving quite a posh car which gives the impression that he is quite important an important person suggesting that this set the scene from the very start of it. But saying this most of the time we did not see the mans face as he was covering it up with what he was wearing suggesting the director wanted to keep the audience in suspense.
Sound/Genre:Firstly, the film gives hints of many different aspects into what genre it could be. throughout the scene the music that was playing gave us the idea that we was watching a thriller because it was quite fast paced but also very frantic. Saying this this also did not give much away as the music/sound that was playing made us quite excited and suspicious to what was going on in he scene and what may happen later during the movie.
