Finding thriller openings
Can't think of any thriller films?
You will need to be prepared to spend several hours finding examples.
You can try using lists made by film fans on the internet (search for thriller films). Check with me that they can be classified as thrillers for our purposes (remember the difference between thrillers and horrors). If you are in college, ask to borrow some from our office for the lesson. Try to find UK thrillers, as UK films like yours will be, have distinctive use of mise en scene. Use youtube for some, but remember that you cannot use a trailer (look for the title 'part 1'). Have a look on the college streaming page for TV - planet estream - linked from the student homepage or moodle home page and browse TV thriller openings, but make sure that most of your research is based in Film as the pace is often different. Don't forget to search for big name directors in this genre: Alfred Hitchcock; Kathryn Bigelow; David Fincher; Quentin Tarantino etc.
