Research Task- Lisa Walden (Deja Vu Opening)

Deja Vu is excellent example for a thriller opening. The apathetic music ties in perfectly with the with the cliff-hanger story later to appear. The close-up's, Extreme close-up's and Bird eye Views knot together to create a thrilling opening. 

Sound

• The dreamy yet very edging music creates a mood of suspense and un-known, leaving the audience on edge about what is going to happen next.
• Even the short slow cuts accompany well with the style of the music. You hear no sound of disscussion in the first scene only short sharp laughing sounds and the sound of the horn.

Camerawork

• The film awakens with the first viewing being over a beautiful white ship surronded by spectacuar views, this is shown with slow cuts of long shots and bird eye views, giving the viewer an insight into the beauty of the film, however still appearing to be thrilling.
•  There are also close-up shots of families and friends togeather, allowing the viewers to see what has been destroyed once the accident happens.
• The camera moves closely into the car with the bombs showing the man's facial expressions as he trys to puzzle together whats going on.

Mise en Scene

• The film begins with bright white lights shining onto the ship, allowing the viewers to see everything that is taking place- If it was shot with darker lighting it would be hard to allocate what is happening.
• As the start is not shot with darker background it gives an unlikely feel that something unsuspecting is going to occur, however as it's bright and clear it enables us to piece together all that is happening and we are more likely to be given hints as to who planned the bombing.
