Thriller Opening Analysis

The opening scene has some really effective micro element of sound with a high pitch orchestra the sound of calm water is played in the background also showing the involvement of water in a build up off suspense. The narrative centers around a dark lake this gives the impression that maybe a corpse has been dumped here. A vulture flies in from a dark sky, with the bird being a vulture it is signifying murder as these are big birds that prey on others. The credits in this opening are a small white font keeping the opening very simple. When the movie title is shown the sounds volume increases dramatically and the pitch does also. At 2 minutes 13 seconds a figure appears, themes off identity are commonly mistaken but I perceived the figure to be a man in dark clothing looking over the water. At 2 minutes 32 seconds the water turns red this then looks like a lake off blood giving the impression to the audience off murder. The figure that appears in this opening clip gives the impression of the villain as he is tall and dark, it also betrays that he may off placed a body in the water as why would he be stood by a lake on his own in darkness.
