Thriller films

The trailer for a thriller film shows a great deal of suspense even in the trailers. It creates suspense by the fast music being played like a race of time. The trailers quickly jump from scene to scene all holding a piece of information or action needed for the film. Diegetic sound- we see the sound being produced. Non-digetic sound- we can hear it but we don't know where its coming from its just in the background, so we cant see it.

Se7en title sequence-
Turns into techno music and is a heart beat to begin with.
The clips are put together in short bursts, in the old days- dark room for photography.

The sound in the title sequence dramatic music being played throughout to gain suspense. It also has the sounds of things that he is doing put into sort of a repetitive tune with what sounds like the odd thing made out to sound like a scream. it is edited to look dark and mysterious with flickers from clips to make it look mysterious and gain suspision. There are many thing to relate to god within this sequence and sin is a big thing.

Mysterious man in each frame

The blood is used to create patterns throughout 
Gun shots into a card to create 007 mixing James Bond with the casino

Falling down opening-

What does the sound tell us about this character?
Sets a scene  for the surroundings showing the noisiness and traffic 

How do we know this is a thriller?
Because the music sounds dramatic and suspense and shows the film is bases around a man who is quite uncomfortable and very stressed maybe under pressure. It shows the film is about waiting as he is stuck in traffic and maybe him having a bad day.

Saul Bass

Saul Bass- Saul Bass is an American graphic designer, he created design titles for thriller films. He is important to what we are doing as he has done the same thing as what we are going to do. We can watch his past work for inspiration and ideas as he is doing the same genre as us. We can see what he has done that we like and use it and change it to put in our title sequence. He is also important as he has done thriller film title sequences we can see what the title sequences need to include.
