Thriller Inspiration: Final Destination 5


Whilst watching Final Destination 5, I noted down several things throughout the film that could be used within our opening.

I like the use of stylized graphics in the opening credits. I think it allows clues to be given without given too much away. It's also more interesting to watch.
I like the use of interesting point of view shots. They add to the visceral effect of the dramatic opening and carry their own sense of foreboding.

The use of diagetic clues was interesting to me as the song used in the film becomes associated with danger and death. I think we could use this in our opening.
Another shot that caught my eye was this close up of the water. I like that the camera isn't on the character but instead her reflection. 
The use of extreme close ups could be beneficial for our opening as they allow detail and exaggeration which could be useful as we have a short time to get our point across.
