This is the first image that comes up on the movie opening, this is an extreme close up on a book by the looks of things, it gives a sense of enigma, because you want to know what is in the book, and who's book is it. The titles are very distorted, and look jagged and not welcoming, which tells you that it is not a romantic movie. The big element of this shot is the enigma of the book and what is in it, this is a key element when it comes to thrillers.
This is the second frame within the movie opening. in both of these frames there is always a hint of darkness within the frame, which is another key aspect, because you want to know what is hiding in that darkness, which gives a sense of enigma, also the picture of the hands, makes you wounder who's hands they are. This frame is a lose up, they have got very dim lighting in this scene as well which adds to the tension of this scene.
This frame is the actual name of the film, and as you can see it is very dull and gloomy, but then the text pops out at you because of the very bright white color off the text, the text font is also strange, it is not standard font it is very uneven and faded, and this again shows enigma because we want to know why it had faded, the mise-en-scene is pretty plain and simple, yet effective because it stands out even though it has standard colors.
This is an extreme close up of someone writing or logging in a book of some sort, and there is an effect where it looks like he/she had been writing for a while. The mise-en-scene is well presented in this frame of the film opening, because of the extreme close up, you only focus on that specific area of the frame which makes you want to know who is actually writing in the book. This also implements bits of enigma, as you don't know who is writing it and why it's being written.
This shot is an extreme close up, of a page and someone is filling in some parts of the text with a black pen, you usually see this on private documents. This shows a key element in thriller movies which is enigma, because you don;t know who is doing this or why he is doing this, this gives you a sense of mystery which is a massive part of a thriller movie.
Again this is an extreme close up of a picture, which looks like a boy. The titles are a big contribution to this frame because it says a lot about the movie or the main character in the movie, the font is not straight or organised and the font is displaced around the page, which could mean that the main character is slightly crazy, if it relates to the font., the mise-en-scene is the lighting which is dark all around the central image, which attracts the attention towards the center of the frame.
The was an extreme close up of a picture on a man with a sharp object in the back of his head, which is very strange because this person has kept a picture of it and putting in a scrap book of some sorts, maybe he is logging his killings or he is a police officer looking at a murder. The mise-en-scene is the lighting which is dark all around the central image, which attracts the attention towards the center of the frame.
This is a one of the titles used during the movie opening, and as you can see it has a plane black background and bright white text, this stands out against the black background which draws your attention, the black background could represent evil and the white text could mean hope.
In my opinion this is a vital clue in relation to the main character, As you can see that is an american dollar bill and there is a message at the bottom of the bill, and as you can see the person has cut out the work "God" which could either mean that he is very religious or the complete opposite maybe an Antichrist, or a saytan worshiper. This is also a very extreme close up.
