Scream:
The opening sequence of scream is very similar to the opening sequence of our thriller idea. In the film scream there is the use of going straight into the film without a title sequence, it just heads straight into action. We chose to do this specific technique because we believe that it makes a film more interesting and appealing to watch as well as enhancing the tension in the film in the early stages making it more exciting. The opening begins with a telephone ringing, which immediately allows the audience to know this is the most important aspect of the scene and what the film could be associated with. Our opening sequence highlights this aspect as well, as our film is about a woman who gets threatened down the phone when she deletes a chain mail. The film itself is very similar to ours where the female is threatened down the phone by a mystery caller and eventually sent to her death. Scream allowed us to think of possible ways to start our opening sequence in order to create tension. The character they use is a vulnerable young blonde woman, and a teenage girl will be playing the lead role in ours.

Crank:
The opening sequence to Crank is another, similar idea that we looked at in comparison to our own opening thriller sequence. It is situated in someone’s home and we are unaware of the gender of the protagonist, unlike the other films where the scene opens on a young girl home alone. The scene starts with the sound of a faint telephone ring which, like ours, allows the audience to suspect that someone is calling this person; however the audience does not know why. The use of a wide shot in the opening sequence allows the audience to see where the scene is taking place but because the scene is shot in dark colours including mostly black, the bright blue light from the TV stands out as the most important object on the screen and that is where the audiences eyes are diverted to. Similarly to The Ring the TV plays a significant part as there is a CD with bold writing cellotaped to it and immediately the audience knows the characters life is in danger. This movie uses CD as the bait to their death whereas we use a telephone call to usher our female character to their death by using a death threat.
