Thriller Sub-genres

In todays lesson we looked at different Thriller sub-genres and what in the opening allowed the audience to identify so.

Momento (2000) - Phycological Thriller

In momento is started off with a clack screen and the film title. A close-up of someone holding a polaroid appears and as he flicks it the image starts to disappear, through this you that it is being rewinded and normally as you flick the polaroid the image appears after.




Deja Vu (2006) - Action Thriller

After watch this opening I honestly wasn't sure what genre it was. I had a feeling it was Action but no clue it was Thriller.





He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2002) - Romantic Thriller

Again with this opening I would not have known that it was a thriller, you can obviously tell it is Romance as it opens with loads of lovey dovey things.



The Orphanage (2007) - Supernatural Thriller

After watching this opening I knew it was some sort of Supernatural Thriller. With the little kids running around and playing games already through this you know it was going to be supernatural in some way.
The title sequence was a little creepy when the kids were ripping off the wallpaper, but if you look closely their skin colour is really pale as if they're like dead.



Enemy of the State (1998) - Political Thriller

After watching this opening I thought it would've been a Political Action sub-genre, I had no idea it was going to be a thriller. You can tell it was a political as the White House and Empire State is seen throughout it, and the green targets tracking cars that made me think it was action.
