Thriller Credit Sequences

                         Research for thriller credit sequences

 Hello everyone, in this fine afternoon we will now be disccusing AND analyzing the credit sequences within the thriller sphere. The whole purpose of doing this is to have an idea on how to give the credit to the director, producer, actor and ect. We want our opening credit sequence to mimick or look exactly as it would as any other thriller film. And for those who don't know what an opening credit sequence looks like, this would be an example of one:

Now I will be discussing 3 different credit sequences that are all thriller films. The first one is "Psycho" (1960).  When the credit sequence begins, we see Alfred Hitchcock's name being displayed along with  sharp moving lines and intense music. The aggressive movement of the text and visuals creates anxiety for the audience. This shows how a credit sequence can use sound and motion to create discomfort for the viewers. 

Another is "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo "(2011). Its credit sequence is dark, and is paired with intense music, creating an unsettling tone. The sequence feels chaotic and overwhelming, which reflects the film’s disturbing themes. This demonstrates how thriller credit sequences can be used as warnings in the beginning rather than spoiling anything or giving too much information. 

On the other hand , "Black Swan" (2010) takes a different kind of approach. The credits are subtle and minimal, allowing the visuals and the music to sort of take over. This choice creates uneasiness when watching the credit sequence.. The simpleness of the credits helps establish the mood for the audience, showing that thriller credits do not need to be very visually for it to reach the audience on a deeper level. 

Overall, this research helps how we should form our own credit sequences, and making sure it enhances the thriller tone.
