Insidious - Film Opening
The opening scene of the film Insidious establishes the setting of a young boy's dark bedroom at night through establishing shots. Close-ups of the boy's toys and lava lamp show his innocence and youth. The camera then pans through the dark and gloomy house, lit only by candlelight, introducing an unsettling atmosphere. For the first minute and 50 seconds, there are no edits between the long takes, maintaining suspense and tension without distraction. Non-diegetic mysterious music adds to the ominous tone and puts the audience on edge for what is to come.

1) The opening sequence follows a man walking with his hood up towards a house. As he approaches the door, the camera zooms in on him.
2) When the man reaches the house, there is a loud smash on the door that the audience cannot see. The woman inside screams and the screen turns black.
3) All that can be heard is a fast heartbeat, and then the title of the film - "NEXT DOOR" - appears in dripping blood-red text before the screen fades to black.
Analysis of Different Thriller Opening Sequences
The document analyzes and compares the opening sequences of 5 thriller films: Donnie Darko, Identity, Black Swan, Inception, and similarities/differences between them. The openings set mysterious tones and left viewers wondering about the narratives without revealing much. They featured creepy characters, dark settings and lighting, quick pacing, and used visual and audio elements like music, drawings, and files to establish themes of crime, psychology and illusion without much dialogue. While they shared these broad techniques, they differed in using live action vs CGI, level of character introduction, and pace of revealing their specific themes.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the opening sequence of the media product "Just a Crush" uses conventions of the thriller genre. It establishes a stalker as the antagonist through imagery of stalking photos, notes, and weapons. Mise-en-scene elements like lighting, costumes, and positioning convey the stalker's obsession. The music and titles are inspired by the film "Se7en" to create tension. While most stalker films feature a male stalking a female, this film challenges the convention by having a female stalking a male victim.
Textual Analysis of 'Se7en'
The document analyzes the opening sequence of the film "Se7en" and discusses techniques used that the author hopes to emulate in their own opening sequence. The "Se7en" opening uses a montage of disturbing images and sounds without showing characters' faces to create intrigue. Iconography of blades and gore set the horror/thriller tone. Unusual camera angles and fast editing with music and screams build tension and confusion to grab the audience.
Opening sequence analysis 2
The opening sequence of the film Scream establishes an atmosphere of horror and tension. It begins with the movie title against a black background in jagged white text with added visual effects like flashing red and the sound of a heartbeat. The first scene shows a woman answering the phone at home while wearing casual clothes, speaking to an unknown caller with a deep voice. As the conversation continues, the atmosphere becomes more unsettling with strange noises and the revelation that the caller is watching her. Camera techniques like close-ups, zooms and pans track her increasing fear and sense of being threatened by someone outside her home.
Final Pitch
This music video will have three main elements: a performance element showing the band playing in a studio, a narrative element following 5 characters racing against each other, and drone footage of someone running that could potentially be used in the narrative. The narrative will show the characters competing in a race that involves cheating and pushing/hitting each other. They will use smoke bombs and flares, filling the finish line with smoke so it's unclear who wins. The band performance will be filmed simply against a black background with smoke and blinding stage lights.
Research and Planning
1) The document outlines the plot, genre, target audience, and key scenes for an opening to a horror film.
2) The plot follows a student character Paul Smith leaving school and taking a bus home, where he believes he is being followed on his walk home.
3) Upon entering his house and turning on his computer, a warning message appears, and the figure following him is revealed looking through the window.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
