Thriller film titles

The Dark Knight 2008
This titles implies that there is tension and suspense. The reference of 'dark' has negative connotations , however when paired with 'knight' it is a juxtaposition. This is due to the word knight being a reference to heroes. Whereas darkness is a associated with villains.

Se7en 1995
This title is different to the others due to the fact it includes a number within the main titles. Why there is a number within the title is not clear for viewers who haven't yet watched the film, however it makes sense once you have watched the film as it will have inference to it. Once watching the film this becomes present as it is about a serial killer who kills following 7 deadly sins. In my opinion, the title ruins the plot because before even watching it the audience knows that there is something big in the film that is related to the number seven.

The Equalizer 2014

This title to me suggests revenge and the fact the characters are seeking revenge or an 'equal' understanding. It is a short title and ends with a strong powerful word. I think that this title will also be revealed throughout the film, for example what is equal, or moreover - who is equal. 

Thriller Opening scenes

Quantum of solace

 The Dark Knight 2008 This title implies that there is tension and suspense. The reference of 'dark' has negative connotations, however when paired with 'knight' it is a jutaposition, due to knight !eing a word reference to heroes. Darkness is associated with villains.

This film opens with an actioned pact car chase. This draws the audience in straight away as it is full on from the moment the film starts. It also allows the audience to meet the main character for the first time. The music that is playing has a lot of volume to it and this causes the audience to watch intently, wondering who will escape and who will crash.

The Dark Knight Rises



Like the James Bond opening scene, this draws the audience in. The audience are drawn in as there is a sense of danger in the place due to the fact they are all fighting and a persons head is being dangled out of the door.  It creates a tense atmosphere, however unlike in the quantum of solace, the main characters aren't revealed. Once of the main character is hidden under the bag over his head which creates a suspicious and mysterious enviornment. All the characters are wearing dark clothing which again gives off a dark atmosphere.
