I will analyze the opening scene of "The Avengers" to get some ideas for my own thriller opening scene. ( http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-avengers/ )
Analyze of the opening scene with a scene, which uses all props of the different Avengers.
Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, The Hulk, and Cap — an assembly of Earth’s mightiest heroes. That is what The Avengers is all about all super heroes from the Marvel Univers in a single film. So the opening scene show´s all the different special props, weapons, shield or armour.
for Exmaple the armour of Iron Man e.g. the picture I added above it show the special amour from him and with a link to the actor, who plays Iron Man in this case Robert Downey Jr.
Another Example is are all the gifts, prop´s and item, which the audience know from the film "Captan America" so in the opening sequence are many items used to create a link to all the films, where the different charcaters are from, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Captn America, Thor and so on. So the audience is provided with known pictures of their heros. Consequently, each character must be given their due and have a moment with their on-screen credit.
This is the moment of David Banner, the broken glasses represent his conversion into the green Monster Hulk.
BUT, this is a exmaple of a opening sence, which dosen´t correspond my own vision of my thriller scene. This is the cause, because prefer a opening scene with a proper plot and not just a collection of known items. This start of the film with the titles is nearly a mashup of pictures.
This is a great option, if there were parts of a film before and the opening scene is used to remind the audience on special things, but in my case I create a new film and my aim in the opening scene is to create suspense, tension and curiosity.
