Analysis of past students' work

To create an affective thriller opening we hand to look back at past students work. One of them that was effective was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ43CqyqC24&list=PL831191973A7A1B5C&index=2&feature=plpp_video 'The Night walker'. This thriller opening was very effective, the fact that they had the title screen interupting the actual film opening was really effective. Another  thing which was good was the building of tension and suspense as the girl was being chased. When she got into the car the audience is wondering whether she would be able to get away then when she drops the keys it has the audience at the edge of their seats at this point again wondering if she'd be able to pick them up in time.
Another opening that we looked at was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqp_-IOprj8&list=PL831191973A7A1B5C&index=1&feature=plpp_video 'Hide and Seek'. Again very effective due to the use of music that builds up the tension. The fact that we see a shadow running past makes the audience wonder and discuss what is that that just went past. Some may be discussing saying that she shouldn't go in.
