9 frame analysis of "Gone Girl" opening

Gone girl analysis 

(From Art of the Title)



For my next 9 frame analysis I decided to analyse a film opening from the thriller genre rather than the horror genre as our opening is somewhere between the two so I wanted to get ideas from both of them. This opening is very effective in building the mood due to the dark and ominous lighting. The juxtaposition between the everyday suburban setting and the dark lighting gives it and eerie effect that is used in horror films too However, this is a lot more subtle and tension is more important here to build the atmosphere which I think is a very good idea that we should use in our piece. However, this opening doesn't use integrated credits unlike our opening so unfortunately we cannot use any ideas from their style of credits. Whilst very effective here it would not working our piece as there is less movement in ours.
