Powerpoint of the opening of the silence of the lambs thriller film

1. By Patson

2.  In this opening sequence we see a young lady
jogging through the woods, who we later learn
is an FBI agent (Jodie Foster) who is put on a
case to catch a serial killer who kills his victims
 She then reaches the police station where she
sees pictures of the skinned victims placed on
the wall

3.  The lighting of this opening scene is very low
key, creating a tense atmosphere, this is typical
of a thriller because usually the director doesn’t
want to mislead the audience into thinking that
the film is light-hearted.

4.  The film begins in a misty woods, this creates
an uneasy atmosphere and plunges the film
into mystery instantly
 The trees are tall and eerie, so that the audience
knows this will be a thriller
 The main character is also sweating and looks
dirty, this makes the audience feel slightly
uncomfortable

5.  The font of the title card which appears is very
large and is in black, this choice of black font
adds to the thriller element because if it was a
light colour such as blue the film opening
would rub us a different way
