Thriller openings and title sequences

Pulp Fiction- Quentin Tarantino- 1994

Open Scene  

           Guns
       Crime- talking about it
Could be over heard
Characters seem psychotic

Title

Yellow text with black background to contrast each other

Shows the production company, director and main casting, along with co-starring

slide up, straight on and scrolling of text onto the screen

up beat fast music- contrasts theme of movie

title reduces in size t the background

          Blue Velvet- David Lynch- 1986

      Title includes blue velvet for the background- dark makes it eerie 

Quick paced

Fades to blue sky

 Peaceful setting

  Nice neighborhood

        Lady drinking tea- watching gun crime on TV- things like that only happen in movies

·         Something moving ion the grass- builds suspense

        Leaves the question of ‘what happened to the man?’

Run Lola run- Tom Tykwer

Quote

Pendulum bringing on text

Stops and tilts up to clock
Fast tempo music
Going through a crowd of people- unfocused- certain people come into focus
Voice over
People waling slowly
Cartoon of girl running through a tunnel
Mug shots of characters with names and actors names
Zoom through a house
Flash backs- black and white- distortion
repetition of talking
flashes of exotic locations
stereotypical story line
