The beginning of a thriller is a key element for the rest of the film. Not only does it have to give an introduction to the film it also has to be able to catch the audience’s attention.
The title sequence of Arlington road had a very weird yet interesting beginning. The scene is set in a suburb and allot of cuts where used to show this. The whole of the beginning was shot with inverse colours which made the scene very eye catching but also seem a bit surreal. The music is very sinister which gives away that at some point something bad is going to happen.
The reason I personally like this is because of how different it is in contrast to most thriller openings and how it not only sets the scene in such a short amount of time but also the use of colour in the scene .
