I chose to compare my thriller opening 'Final Cut' with the opening of the film 'To Kill a Mockingbird', I have chosen this as I feel that both these opening title sequences challenge the conventions of other media products.
As the images are relatively abstract they do not give away any major plot points, however, there are seem images the reoccur.
For example in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' there is the reoccuring image of the fob watch, in comparison to this in my thriller opening 'Final Cut' there is the reoccurance of the long corrider, which the audience will realise by the time the film has ended is the corridor of the mental hospital my antagonist escaped from.
I feel that this style of opening is better than the regular openings which give away far too much of the plot within the first few minutes.
