Inner Evil - Opening Sequence


This is an example of an AS media thriller opening sequence called 'Inner Evil'.
This shows many example of codes and conventions that could be used in our thriller opening sequence.
 

Mise-en-scene
Through mise-en-scene some one key prop was used within the opening sequence.The main prop of the sequence was a key. This was shown at the start of the sequence as the heroine stared down at the key in her hand and we were also shown a scene of the key being used as a weapon. This suggests that the key is a significant prop to the story and is used in a way that is un-traditional giving a sense of surprise and tension for the audience. This idea can be used in our thriller opening sequence as a 'shock' factor for our target audience creating an un-certainty to the story through an every day item. Mise-en-scene was also used through clothing. For example we see the heroine of the sequence wake up and get changed into everyday clothes as if she was an average person getting up for a typical day. However at the end of the sequence we see the same character wearing darker clothes. This suggests the 'inner evil' of the character presented in the title portraying the main character as having two persnalities shown by the difference in clothing from the same girl. This can be used in our thriller sequence by suggesting how the storyline has affected the characters within the story to the point of split personalities. Another mise-en-scene used in the sequence was lighting. For example throughout the sequence bright lighting was used however in some scenes of flashbacks darker lighting was used. This could suggest traumatising events for the main character allowing the audience to sympathise, it could also suggest again the difference in personalities but for the same character. This can be used in our thriller film to suggest a series of events within one storyline for one character.
