Ideas from movie/ clip openings /Thriller research:

The Bourne identity:

In the Bourne identity there is a lot of different effects used for different scenes. For serious moments the shots are lengthened/ drawn out quite a lot more than the scenes with action which have quick cuts as well loud music to give that  actiony feel, also the slower scenes have quite slow or eerie music to add a serious and or unknown feel to the scene.

The purge:


In the movie the purge they use a lot of eerie music and fast cuts to add a thriller feel to it. Also the dark lighting added gives another aspect to the feel.

John wick:

In this action thriller there is a great mix of different editing effects. There are alot of quick cuts to add the effect of danger at every corner also the movie is quite fast paced and action packed with strobing light effects to further push the action aspect. The lighting is also quite dark giving a sense of suspicion further pushing the fact danger is lurking at every corner.
