The Unusual Suspects

The usual suspects (Brian singer) 1995

The opening scene of this film has a typical start of the water flowing as the names of the people involved in the film are displayed. This creates the image of the film being a thriller/ horror.
There are various techniques used such as: darkness, reflection of moon, and fire effects. There is eerie music throughout, this connotes something suspicious is about to happen. The killer is somewhat unknown, antagonist was kept obscured, with head cut off, and shadowy figure, and there is typical clothing worn as well; the hat, and coat. We hear his voice. And then there is a close up of the key prop which is the gun. The incidental, tense and dark music; this choice of music suggests it’s a thriller.
