Derilium Tremens

I think that you can tell that this sequence is a thriller, as from the very beginning tension is created by the white noise as the camera shows the view of a city. the idea of a city is also shown in films such as panic room which is also a thriller. it is the idea that everything is fine and you don't know where abouts in the city what is going to happen is.
You wouldn't instantly know that it was a thriller, but as the story unfolds it is clear that what is happening is not quite right and creates suspense to the audience.
whilst the titles are appearing the audience is being shown the view of the city, i think this is to keep them in suspense as they do not know anything about the film yet. they then carry on into the start of the sequence but only as the character is waking up. it isn't clear at this point that he has done anything wrong.
the group shoot their footage on what appears to be the top level of a multi story car park. which is completely empty to create the idea of loneliness. and makes the audience wonder why he is there.
the beginning of the sequence starts by a long panning shot of the city, establishing the main setting where it is taking place. then goes to a long shot establishing where they are. and then the car. this is as if they are starting form a long way a way then gradually getting nearer to the 'action'. they use a variety of shots from long shots to close ups foe example of the mans expression as he looks at what is in his boot. the movement between each shot is quite slow to fit in with the music.
At the beginning there is no sound but white noise, which creates tension and suspense. then when it gets to the car park the music begins to show that something is going to happen all though you are not sure what. the music is the same all the way through form when it starts to finishes. i do think this works well but for instance when he opens the boot, i think a sudden change in music could have worked well here.however, by keeping it the same they never know when something is going to happen. There is no diegetic sound just the quite calm, slow, theme tune they used, i think the harder notes hit on the piano create tension.
The footage all the way through is in black and white which does make it seem more eery.
i do think that this sequence is good and you can tell that the man is clearly uncomforatble. as it was on a high building i thought that he was going to commit suicide as he ran to the edge and climbed up a barrier. you can tell there is somenthing not quite right. it is left in a way which makes you want to watch on to discover what is in the boot, i assume it is a body?
i think it is clear that this sequence is a thriller opening
