Genre Research 2



'Eden Lake' - 2008

This thriller film starts off with flashes of shots from later on in the film showing that the film will be a thriller/horror. The red text for the titles against the black background also suggests danger and darkness and the red could symbolise that blood will be shed however it is quite hard to read when watching it smaller. The flashes consist of close up shots merged with long shots but the close ups overpower and are more visible. This technique gives the audience a flavour of what the film will be like later on and makes them want to watch on from the beginning. It is quite similar to the previous film I researched, 'Shrooms', as they show parts of the film later on at the beginning which is something I would like to incorporate into my own film opening.
