During class, we watched a series of student films who worked on the same project as us which is to create a title sequence for a thriller movie. After seeing their examples, we saw what could be our outcome to our thriller opening and whether it would be successful or not.
The link above is an example of a student film called "Victoria" which shows the sinister ways of an innocent ballerina, whereby their opening could be a psychological thriller much like "Black Swan" which also uses the same plot, this could be an example of intertextuality as they have used the same themes as "Black Swan".
From the screen shots you can see how they have used transitions such as dissolving and have even included various different camera angles, which allows the audience to see what's going on more effectively. During the beginning of the opening you will see a production logo titled "CandI Studios", which soon fades out into their thriller. A ballerina music box has been added as their music, which uses effects such as echoing to give it a more sinister tone. Their thriller ends with a evil laughter showing signs of a horror movie and then flashes out. I thought it would also be a great idea using some sort of ballerina music as it could relate to our idea of using a little devilish girl in our thriller, playing on the idea that not all girls are as innocent as they appear to be.
