Thriller Opening: Inspiration


One of an opening credits scene that we used as our inspiration is from the movie "Insidious". The scene is relatively short but we are interested in some aspects of it for example the first 10 seconds of the clip shows a single circular light source where it rotates along with the credits. This makes gives an ominous and dizzying effect, it also gives a sense of uncertainty as from the beginning we did not know that the light was upside down.


This opening scene has an underlying background music and also added sound effects to create a spooky atmosphere. We want to do the same with our thriller where there will be no dialogue but simply let the camerawork and actions convey the message accompanied by some sound fx

As a group we tried to re create this rotating effect. A 4K camera was used so the clip would be in high definition and then can be zoomed in without losing its resolution. We did this by filming a still shot of a clock at 4 different distances and then playing around with rotation speed and degrees in premiere. Below is how we edited this clip and the result.
