In media we watched the opening of No Country For Old Men this is to get an insight of what a good thriller opening is like. We watched this to analyze it but also use it to get ideas of what makes famous thrillers so successful.
At the beginning of the film the audience hears the sound of the wind, this automatically creates suspense and we wonder what is going to happen next. The setting is in a mysterious place, a desolate area littered with rundown objects, this builds suspense immediately as it is a mysterious place and the foregrounds is dark. Suspense is also built when we are only shown the back of the mans head this is mysterious and creepy. The film keeps cutting to what seems to be an oxygen canister, this causes the audience to ask questions like, what is its importance and why is it being used? We are then shown a man who we realise is the main character sneaking into a police station. His movements are sneaky and make us feel like he is going to do something bad. We then see the man strangling a police man, this causes us to wonder why he is strangling the police man. Again suspense is built up by the use of the oxygen canister. The film is effective as we always wonder what is going to happen next and this makes the audience hooked.
