The Structure of Thriller Openings

Structure of Thriller Openings

We have Observed that there are three different structures for thriller openings...

• A narrative opening with the titles running through out:

A story is happening and the titles are coming on top (during) the story/action

One of a narrative opening example would be the opening sequence of Dexter.

• Discrete title sequence:

A title sequence without the narrative but with Edited sequences that stand apart from the opening

 James Bond opening Sequence is an example of a Discrete title sequence

• Titles over a blank screen, Followed by the narrative opening:

Blank screen with titles over it; Some movies Start with titles rolling over a blank screen, with sound effects or a sound track before introducing images.
