Thriller opening analysis

http://youtu.be/sqIclb4qsJI

In this opening sequence, still camera shots are shown however the camera still moves at a slow pace horizontally across the image setting a slow and suspenseful start and giving the impression that there is more to come as you wait for the rest of the image to be seen. Simple video shots that are shown also build suspense as the audience becomes curious as why they are being shown this.This could be used to summarise the whole film and conforms to thriller conventions as you never know what to expect. You see a view of the city and different large buildings showing you a commercialised and wealthy area setting the location. It shows different sthots of the city, which is shown to be busy and quite crowded and full of dim colours such as beige. It is shot in low key light which conforms to thriller conventions as builds mysterious atmosphere.

The typography is plain, bold and very large sprawled across building of the city giving impression that the events that are going to happen are important in the lives of a resident in that city and affects others in that city. It is morden, digital and computeristic which could imply that the people involved in this movie are rich and well connected to technology and the modern world showing.

At the end of the opening, a woman walking down a crowded street in a hurry is seen which introduces the audience to a main characters. She is wearing expensive sunglasses and a large fur rimmed coat which implies she has money and status.
