Thriller based credit scenes.

 Credit scenes: In thriller films, credit scenes are key, as they are treated as part of the storytelling, not just list people. What I mean by listing people, is, credit scenes can be at the start or at end.

 They begin listing the cast and other production people who worked and helped develop the film. Credit scenes apart from the cast and production poeple, they provide the title and play music/video.

In this case, I will provide some research about thriller opening scenes, due to our Portfolio Project being a film opening, meaning we need to include the credit scenes at the start, definetely not at the end. I will use thriller credit scenes because our chosen genre is thriller as for now, meaning I will research about credit scenes that contain the genre thriller to gain experience and inspiration.

First thriller credit scene: (Se7en)

                               Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k2gsEI34CE&utm

Overview: This credit scene shows disturbing close-ups of a person cutting photos, stiching what appears to be skin, and writing a lot into a notebook. This credit scene that not only shows the production but also develops the theme of the film. 

It indeed creates unease at the start of the film which initially tells the audience what the film will be about. It shows obsession without any context through using chaotic editing as well as the weird and unsettling music in the backround.

Second thriller credits: (Zodiac)

                        Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwS0XRJRKlE&utm

Overview: This credit scene opening is exactly what me and my partners are aiming to accomplish in our own film opening.The film opens wityh families outside, kids playing, fireworks in the sky as the camera slowly moves around the neighborhood in which the zodiac symbol and credit scenes appear on screen.

This opening appears as joyful as everyone seems happy and just a chill neighborhood, but later on tragic things happen. The film opening tries to establish a tone just for it later to change very quickly which very much affects the overall plot.

Third credit scene: (Vertigo)

Overview: The credits show a womans face, then her eye, in which turns into some type of spiraling shape. While credit scenes and weird images, the music is played and purposely made unsettling for viewers to feel some type of way.

The spirals are used in the opening credit scene to symbolize obsession and loss of control, as well as a unease. It isn't only famous and well known for the rare opening but it is recognized as a very unique credit scene, maily because of the weird figures and such but the credit scenes very much help with the theme. 

This opening is for sure a good inspiration for my Portfolio Project and migh be a very good opening to look over in the upcoming days.

That is all for today. See yall in the next one.
