Researching other Thrillers: Fargo (Coen Brothers, 1996)


The title contained a small font of middle upper case letters, and were placed in the middle of the screen on a misty blank background. Sound was used to add suspense as the car dissolves into the bar which the characters are then introduced in. From this point onwards the opening sequence went straight into story with a narrative enigma of violence; with use of shot reverse shot to show conversations.

  Lost Highway (David Lynch, 1997)


The titles contained upper case letters using a font which styled the writing as broken and was placed diagonally on the screen that tranistioned in. On screen the lighting was dark, as only the road was lit up from the headlights on the car which is driving central of the road. This gave the impression of a remote area as there was no street lights and disorientation with the car driving position. As this scene finished the dark lighting then revolved into natural lighting and many close up shots.

SE7EN (David Fincher, 1995)


The titles were in a scribble type of font giving the impression that they was hand written in a white font; making it stand out from the dark black and white backgrounds. Behind the title there are short clips flickering showing somebody writing, looking at photographs and reading a book. However these are all close up and short scenes that keep changing; which gives an insight to what the plot ahead may be.

Disturbia (D.J. Caruso, 2007)


Begins with a blank screen with a voice over which leads to the narrative with soft music playing giving a peaceful vibe with natural lighting. As the suspense builds a sound effect of the car crashing with incidental music adding suspense the narrative enigma of drama sets in. After the revealtion of the characters death the screen turns black with the title then fades in central of the screen gently flickering in white upper case letters; which then screen revolves into white making the tittle disappear.

Sherlock Homes (Guy Ritchie, 2009)


Begings with a voice over whilst the incidental music creates the amostpohere within the narrative engima of violence. Many sound effects are used during the fighting scenes adding emphasis on the violence. A tranistion of dissolve then changes to a newspaper which leads to the title fading in, creating the effect of the newspaper page turned. The title is in block capital letters in the appearance of a newspaper headline.
