The structure of Thriller Openings

There are three basic structures when you notice film openings these are:


  • A narrative opening with the titles running thoughout---->e.g. The Stepfather & The Shinning
  • A discrete title sequence---->e.g. Arlington road & Seven
  • Titles over a blank screen, followed by the narrative opening---->e.g. Donnie Darko & Mezrine
  • Stylized editing---->e.g. Taking of Pelham 123
