We watched this title sequence during a lesson this week, this gave me some ideas that could be used for our thriller coursework. Some ideas came to mind.
First of all I liked the metronome used as a continuous focus point in the sequence. This was possibly being used as a 'MacGuffin', whereby the object seems unimportant but actually is used as returning point in the sequence.
My second point was I liked how close-ups were used; focusing on the man's hands. This intrigues the audience by leaving the story unanswered as it cuts between the title text images and the video clip itself.
Also I thought the music was deep and powerful, it helps to set audiences expectation for the film. The opening sequence gives a insight into the characters methods and thoughts, linking in to the film's plot.
When watching the clip some words/phrases came to mind:
Limited Colour - black, white and red (adds to the chilling effect), red - signifying the possible danger and goryness of the film
Creepy
Dark
Thrilling
Disturbing
Mysterious
Cold/Chilling
Methodical/Routine/Planned
