Looking at different styles of Thriller openings

Today we watched a range of thriller openings that had different styles. For example 'City of God' this film was more humorous as it involved a gang of young adults chasing a chicken. Obviously this is not stereotypical of a thriller film.



Another opening that we watched was 'Reservoir Dogs' this also had an element of humor as the mise en scene is not typical of that in a thriller film, for example it is very bright and sunny, and the men are all joking and talking in a American diner. This is completely opposite to the 'dark' opening to 'Taking Lives.'
