I wanted to do further research into openings of thriller films and i found that LA confidential was challenging the key conventions in the opening therefore it intrigued me, I also found that World war Z was one of the best thriller films in 2013, even though its also not a typical thriller it has thriller conventions.
LA Confidential
- Happy, classic and loud music which is unusual for a Thriller film this could be giving the audience the wrong impression.
- Bright colours everywhere which also is unusual as we normally see dark colours.
- No key characters shown to us? makes us question who's important in the film, only shows us the location and talks about the location
- We wonder who is doing the over voice, talking about how amazing LA is.
- However we then see he's saying paradise then laughings and says "thats what they tell you anyway" could be foreshadowing something thats going to happen later on.
World War Z
- We see they are located in a busy city, which is a key convention in thrillers.
- Confusion on whats going on because everything is very fast paced for a opening.
- Murder from truck which killed the police officer and other people, this shows that crime is taking place in this location which makes us confused again because we don't understand why this truck is doing this
- Tense music which builds up in the action which makes us feel panic.
We can clearly see these are very different thrillers to what i have researched before but this both intrigue me because they are different, dramatic and complex. Also World War Z can also been looked at as a thriller however there are arguments that it is a thriller as it meets thriller conventions.
