Studen Thriller Analysis - David

Comprehensive analysis of a student thriller opening sequence

Surface - 2007

surface is a very good opening sequence for a thriller. it successfully builds suspense and confuses the viewer. when watching you do not know what is going to happen next. you can see their is some sort of hostage being taken or torture happening.

the music has been carefully chosen to create a dark tone and to try and scare the viewer. it also uses screaming noises to show what the women is going through and to show she is being hurt or is scared. the flashing images and distorted footage further creates confusion to the whole sequence.
