Comparative Analysis

my opening sequence is going to be based on Brief 2 so i had a look at some supernatural thrilers. Made both by the US and other film makers from all over the world. I looked at Hideo Nakatas 1998 Ringu in japan which in 2002 was remade in the states as The Ring. I also looked at David Fincher's 2002 Panic Room which is an American film.





The opeing sequence to Ringu is a very slow opening sequnce it takes time to biuld up atmosphere. the opeing 1:35 minutes bulids up quite a bit of testion from the non diegetic music it has that erey scary tone to it so it makes people know what kind of opening it is. teh tension is cut then the two girls are talking. but what they talk about keep people interested a video taht kill people when they watch it 'wired stuff ' whne the girl in blue starts to tell her friend taht she had seen it the tension bulds back up this is keeping the audience intersted as they don't know if its real or just amade up story when teh girl then starts laughing the testion is killed once again till the phone rings and the tesion is back again even more intences then times before. jsut the silence there is apart from the phone ringing makes the audience feel something is going to happen. but when it turn out to be the girls mum the tention is killed until the ther girl goes away and the tv in the room tern on the tention is back and this feel to be teh lsat time after she turn teh tv off there is still some tention like that not all there is going to be. how the girls movment help to build tention because she know something is there till she turn round and it switches to negative. The opening sequence is 7 minutes and 57 seconds and consists of 30 shots. I like this very much because it keeps killing the tetion taht the movie makes and keep the audience on there toes as there die of atisapation then fear.

Panic Room Opening Sequence is 1:50 minutes long and contains 20 diffrent shots around the city. with the tittles either in the air or against buildings you have diegetic sound but you have non diegetic that give it the dark feeling even though the sequence is in broad day light in a busy city. i like it beause i dosen't give much away of the film and its nice shots if u like scenery.
