Opening of Thrillers (conventions)

We also see the way the opening title and credits are represented all shown to be presented in dull colours but with bold interesting font. Thriller openings are usually presented in a dramatic way to make it more appealing for the audience some examples have been indicated below.

Psyco opening credits 

The opening of Psyco is different from other film openings we 

see whilst the credits have been shown the theme is shown to overlap one another not allowing the viewers to see a clear view of the directors names this is used to create an effect that the audience may not expect such as tension due to the music also being played 

Psyco opening tittle

Above is shown to be the title of the film. This clearly represents the name of the film in a clear way, this is because we see that the image, font and colours used all show to give us the negative connotation of death, blood, war and so on. Red is the colour that is usually associated with danger and strength, this being used over the object clearly suggests that more than one person dies the title is represented to take most of the space on the object this clearly suggests that this may be something we focus on during the film.

The Ring opening

Looking at the opening of this thriller we see that the screen is blank creating tension for the viewers of the film.

Opening credits of The Ring 

The font of the credits above is shown to be bold and simple but is shown to have different levels to show the mood. Looking at the font and the music being played behind clearly links in with the genre allowing the audience to expect something terrible during the beginning of the scene.

The Ring credits (shown to be placed in
different directions with noises)

Having credits being placed in different directions as shown above makes us see the importance of the character.  

Most of the credits in thriller movies are usually presented alone with a plain black background to allow the viewers to see that this is the main focus. Having nothing in the background clearly represents a thriller opening as the object is usually placed alone to show the main focus. We also see the colours used represent this as they are shown to be plain blacks and whites to stand out and exaggerate the mood

The Ring title opening 

The image of the ring opening is bold bright and effective. The use of the font and text is shown to be spread out as shown this gives us the connotation that the characters used could be separated and may find it hard to reach there destination. The use of the logo being placed in the middle again shows the main focus as there is nothing around it to distract what the image is trying to tell us.
