Saw 6 and Flight Plan

Saw 6 

the opening credits are writen in a weird font you see 3 versions of the text all in differn't sizes moving at differnt times across the screen also a few of the letters seem to twice every so often.
this is to create a creepy feel to the film. the only lighting used is key light to keep a dark feel and uses Low key lighting to keep the film feeling dark the credits fade to black and fade in to part of jigsaws death traps the producer uses Extreme Close Ups of the traps slowly revealing the trap to the audience there is not alot of opening credits to finish the opening we see the first two victims waking up and wondering where they are using a medium close up. 



The plot of the opening is to introduce jigsaw the main cerial killer of the series new game of life and death and to show the audience how sick and twisted the film is going to become as in the first 5 minutes there is alot of blood ,gore and self harming.





Flight Plan  
Below is the opening to Flight Plan, Our theme for our opening peice is a thriller. I have looked at various openings to Thrillers, below is one of them. This Film begins with a train going past, after it 'Touchstone Pictures and Imagaine entertainment present', follows, it is white writing on a black background which creates a eerie feel , this is the first thing you see so it sets both the mood, and the setting of a train station, The rest of the titles follow in the style of a train going past, the kind of shutter, line effect going over the writing is used to create this, this also give a tense feel to it. After the last name, the black screen fades out and shows a train with a woman sitting on the bench persumed to be waiting for the train.  This scene is the establishing shot and shows the back of the lady in  the middle of the screen, this automaticly make you think she is the main charecter. High Key lighting is used in this scene. The doors of the train open and the camera beings to zoom into her with the words 'Flight Plan' in white, fading in beside her, the pause here and the time it takes to zoom in also creates a feel of suspence, its almost like your waiting for something to happen now. The writing 'Flight Plan', which establishes the name of the film, flashes and fades back out, the camera then turns to the other side and shows the front of her face, this is the first time you see her, it continues to zoom it up to a 'Close up' viewpoint to show the worried emotion on her face. Quite a Soft High Key lighting is used here, this is to make you look more at her expression and less at the shadows. This sets the scene and mood for the rest of the film, the screen then blanks out and opens on a new scence, where low key lighting is used. This is the begining of the film. This will help me with openings because it shows new ways of setting a scene and creating the mood for the rest of the film. This opening scene captures your intrest in the film so it is inportant it is intresting and full of tension and suspense.
