with Brad Pitt and Morgen Freeman. For more informations, read my other post: http://florianberberichasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/which-thrillers-are-considered-to-be.html
The film doesn’t open directly with the sequence. It first introduces us to retiring Detective Sommerset (Morgan Freeman) and rookie replacement Detective Mills (Brad Pitt).
The opening show the preparation of the serial killer e.g he scuff the skin of his thumb, to render his thumb prints useless. A lot of close up one all different props are used, for exmaple raser blade, letter, pen, tape on his finger. All this provide the audience with clue´s to create a feeling for the killer and plot.
You can clearly see on the picture that the person, always write hin a kind of diary an dtsicks photos of womens next to it, which are probably his victims.
This kind of opening sequence is similar to that from "The Avengers".
The serial killer makes entries in his diary alongside clippings from books, self-developed photographs, and found images and objects, giving the audience an intimate look into the mind of a serial killer obsessed with religion and, more to the point, attrition.
As a Conclusion, I can say that it is really common for thriller films to use props in the opening scene and most of the time close-up´s to talk in a kind of riddles. This creates a bit of tension and interesst.
