Thriller is a genre of fiction in which tough, resourceful, but essentially ordinary heroes are pitted against villains determined to destroy them, their country, or the stability of the free world.
Part of the allure of thrillers comes from not only what their stories are about, but also how they are told. High stakes, non-stop action, plot twists that both surprise and excite, settings that are both vibrant and exotic, and an intense pace that never lets up until the adrenalin packed climax.

Past student work evaluation (Concept Destrukt)

















This thrillers opening uses a vas amount of effects and fast cutting and merging. From looking this over it's easy to see the use of photoshop and a good piece of editing. the opening also  houses a wide range  of images which have been inverted, overlaid and imposed together.  A use of a static sound-effect  repeated throughout the start, this is another effective way they have tired to set the scene.This is to create an original realistic film like opening which is i believe is very effective in portraying a secret/restricted aspect. I found this to be a very effective an unsettling title sequence which did everything a thriller needs to do.











The only problem i had behind this opening was the fast change in images, i found it to be too quick and off-putting. Although i found this off-putting it's a technique which is used frequently throughout thriller openings. Example of this would be (Mimic-1997) which also has a documental broken, jittery feel to it. As (Mimic) is smoother I found it to be  less distracting in setting the scene. 












Following this was a cut to action, which i found to be pretty boring to be honest, it didn't really grip except for showing a camera angle i liked there was nothing else which took my appeal.
they did however use successful match on action shots and demonstrate skill in almost every area.
