RESEARCH Thriller Openings

What makes a good opening?

  • Intense movement
  • Action packed
  • Dramatic music that builds and creates tension
  • Enough to entice the audience but not to give away to much
  • Effective camerawork
  • intense background music

Order of Title


  • Production Company
  • Director
  • Stars
  • Film Title

How do they appear?


  • White title black background
  • Cut into film or another film
  • scrolling
  • fade in and out
  • sliding in

How much should it tell the audience?

  • it shouldn't give away too much of the story line and plot for the audience but it should entice the audience to want to finish watching it.

I have uploaded this video because it is a really good clip that makes you want to watch the rest of the film. This video entices the audience to watch it.
