T1-22 2011 Thriller Opening Sequence Analysis

Throughout this opening sequence, the film conformed to thriller genre conventions and constructed through a variety of close-up shots, the construction of enigmas well. The shots chosen for the thriller film feel close-up and claustrophobic.

T1-22 portrays a clear theme of sight and seeing, this is because the movie flashes to the camera, pictures are hung on the wall and photos are being developed. These three factors link in with the thriller convention of sight.

T1-22 has a consistent editing style, where it cuts from scene to scene without transition. This helps to build tension and suspense. The way in which the the credits transition in through a fade is not intrusive and does not distract from the action.

The sound for T1-22 builds suspense as it is a typical thriller non diagetic soundtrack. It seems to build up the scene in order to support the construction of enigmas through the use of cinematography. The soundtrack fits the imagery being shown and doesn't distract from the visual footage.

There isn't much of a variety in the types of shots. The majority of these are close-ups. However these are appropriately used and fit the genre well and feels more professional as they match the feeling of claustrophobia and unease.
