I chose Psychological Thriller as my chosen genre for the portfolio project. Three examples of film openings under this genre is Gone girl made in 2014 by David fincher. After watching the film opening I analyzed that it starts with an extreme close up of the back of a girl named Amy's head and a man voicing over talking about cracking her skull open. The lighting is low and makes a contrast and shows a violent dialogue and this makes an information gap since the audience is missing information. Like what I have in mind for my film opening it uses a close relationship and teaches me that voiceover can be used to show that a character is hiding something from the person sitting right next to them which is what I had in mind to do.
Another example is Nocturnal animals made in 2016. In the opening scenes there is a part where characters are stuck in a car at night on a dark road which is just like my idea. I noticed that the film used loud bangs and aggressive sounds outside the car to make the people inside feel trapped. The camera stays mostly inside the car which makes it feel claustrophobic. This fits my idea because I want to show how a car can feel small and scary when there are secrets and loud noises happening that you can’t see. It taught me that keeping the camera close to the actors makes the mystery feel more intense and scary.
