Background music to Film Intro
on the thriller\horror films i have seen i noticed the intro music is always slow and a simple beat bringing the audience into the film gradually working its way into it, i looked at several different songs of a simple starting beat and felt this was the best to start of with by Bauhaus - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq2RXSboWMs
Analyzing the 3 film intros
Looking at each film intro separately i felt they all are great ways to start a film.
For example Se7en how the camera has been shot everything is close ups in this montage style sequence which gives you the impression that something is going on and it is focused on to the subject but we haven't got a clear view on exactly what is happening and who is doing this, this gives me a thrill type feeling as i am not clear to what is going on and want to find out.
In A Clockwork Orange i like the whole feeling of the slow zoom on the camera, i feel this gives an interesting view of what is happening and is almost revealing a picture to the audience, who are not aware of what is either side of the subject.
In Nightmare on Elm Street again i find thrilling how the film is shot yet again zoomed up so that the audience can't see what is happening, this gives a very intense view on the film yet again thrilling and would be good to use in my film intro.

Thriller
After looking at some horror films i felt that many of them had the genre 'Thriller' with it which gives you that feeling when watching the film like what is going to happen next? what is going on? why is there spooky music playing?
I felt this effect in watching a film is very amusing and makes you very interested in the film and want to watch on and expect something to jump out or something happen suddenly.
As i like this feeling when watching a film so much i am going to now use the genre 'Thriller' in my final start of a movie.
I looked at several thriller films with interesting intros, the film that caught my interest the most was the film 'Se7en'. This gave me the same type of effect that you would find in a thriller\crime type film where you want to see what happens next and what's going on. I think how the montage clips have been put together at the start are excellent as they are close ups of a criminal preparing himself to do what he does.
I then thought of the film 'A Clockwork Orange' this is quite thrilling at times and looking at the intro gave me a good idea on what to do in the final film intro i will put together myself.
