Kiss Me Deadly

In Kiss Me Deadly's opening sequence, it is also quite old fashioned just like Double Indemnity is, very different to the other more modern thrillers like Memento and Brick. These are obviously old fashioned due to the black and white effect used on them and the more basic shots that are used, mainly the close ups which again are the typical conventions of a thriller. Furthermore, another typical convention that is found in thriller opening sequence's is the use of a hyperbolic sound of the foot steps. The questions that again are stereotypical for characters in thriller's are being evoked for the woman in particular, with the audience wondering where she is going and why she is running. Also, the actions she does like her running and the close up used of her feet as she does so creates a tense atmosphere for the audience- typical for thriller's. The use of dramatic sounds like the woman crying and the tension building music also evokes more questions and keeps the audience wanting to watch more; keeping them on the edge of their seat.
