Links to frames from a range of thrillers explaining how an idea from them may appear in your opening

Pulp fiction

A mysterious briefcase will be featured in the opening sequence of the film. Just like the one in pulp fiction no one knows what is inside it. To add to the effect of the mysterious briefcase the camera is generally focused on it, this is adding to the ideas we will put into our opening sequence.

Chunking Express

We will purposely arrange in our production schedule that filming in the streets will be on busy days. This will add much more effect to the opening just like in the famous movie Chunking Express. for example i believe that the movie Chunking Express's opening would be no where near as effective in empty streets. also a larger amount of background noise.

Taken

                              

We will use ideas from the movie "Taken" during the phone call scene where the camera cuts (from Liam Neeson to Maggie Grace) during their phone conversation. We will use these ideas in our film as we don't want to have a Mysterious effect on the characters we want to introduce them, therefor showing them on camera.

Psycho 

The briefcase will be similar to the money in the movie Directed by Alfred Hitchcock due to the fact that the camera will regulary be focused on it to add effect. However the money is a Macguffin in the movie Psycho and the briefcase will not be a Macguffin in our Thriller.
