We all liked this opening because of the short quiet clips along with the loud distorted clips, the music ties this all in well together. You can tell straight away that this is a thriller because of the music and blood in water.

The structure of the opening is interesting as the short and long clips of action tied in together to give it a creepy disturbing look.

There isnt a lot of mise-en-scene but the use of the 'blood' in the water gives it a very disturbing look and also makes the overall sequence more creepy. the camera work in this is interesting as we get a range of shots along with various action sequences.

The use of sound is very important, in this opening, as it ties together the action scenes, also gives it a jumpy and very creepy feel. Editing techniques are used for this sequence to make it fast and distorted, giving it a thriller feel.

The only SFX used is the 'blood in water' which gives it a slow and surreal atmosphere as it shows the names of the people involved, which i think is very effective at making it scary.
