The first film opening I looked at for The Dark Knight Rises. This opening was informative as we find out about the antagonist, Bane.
This opening uses little emphasis on non-diegetic sound to illustrate a calm background; just one’s normal plane journey. However, the music soon becomes heavier and louder as the opening starts to unfold, setting a true tone to the plot. Additional sound e.g. gunshots. were made using foley. Something I would hope to avoid whilst making my own thriller as I wouldn’t want to risk not syncing the audio in time with the picture.
Moving on. Mise en scene helps convey various integration techniques creating a real-life aspect for anyone wondering how mercenaries may perform such tasks. Suspense is created shortly after as Bane (Main antagonist), is in the plane. He is now recognizable due to his distinctive voice/mask.
Editing features a few over the shoulder shots to portray different character’s perspectives. On the other hand, the camera captures the small plane’s torn-apart background. Connotations would go as far to say the state of the plane represents each character’s gruff attitude. By performing something similar in our own thriller, I feel it’s something we’d be greatly rewarded for.

Though the second film, The Bourne Identity belongs to a conspiracy sub-genre of Thriller. The title sequence keeps suspense consistent. Especially with the use of sound. Non-diegetic music is used to create tension throughout the 3 minute clip as we find out Jason Bourne’s just as mis-informed about the opening as we are from the YouTube clip.
Mise en scene see the opening taking place on a gritty, poorly-lighted boat. Something that may be out most of our comfort zones. I think this is illustrated to highlight JB’s surprise when he wakes up. Towards the end of the clip. A first person camera view is used to display a close-up of projected writing. Something I believe was used brilliantly. Personally, I would like to do something similar, but using a track-shot using the 2nd person narrative-view. Although this may prove challenging, I think our group is more than capable to do so. Overall, both thrillers are similar to each other, respectively. However, both use different techniques to create a unique piece of film. Something which I aspire to achieve when filming.
