The Structure Of Thriller Openings

When we watch films there are three types of openings.

• A narrative opening with the title running throughout.            

        The narrative opening contains the title sequence going through the main part of the film. An example          of this is 'The Shinning'

•      The second type is a discrete title sequence.               

              A discrete title sequence is a small contained film just to show the titles and names. An example of this is the film seven  

• Title over a blank screen, followed by a narrative opening        

       The titles comes up and the black screen is the background
