'Derilium Tremens' Analysis.

The opening thriller sequence I have chosen to review is 'Derilium Tremens'. I have chosen this sequence because I really enjoyed the mysterious feel to it, and how it leaves you wanting more. The fact that there is no colour and it's shot in black and white immediately gives off an eerie effect to the sequence and you know that something isn't quite right. At the beginning of the sequence there is a shot of a chimney smoking and a panned shot over houses and buildings continuing with several areas such as a car park which are very isolated making the scene feel disturbed and distressed.

In the next shot we're introduced to two characters who appear harmless, and the music begins - creating a creepy atmosphere which contrasts with the characters normal behaviour. The sudden flashbacks of a previous time, create an effective ambiance in which reveals that something's wrong and the dark colours look good contrasted with the black and white shots.

My favourite part of the sequence is when one of the characters opens up the boot of the car and the viewer can see that it's from the person in the boots point of view, which lets the viewer know that somebody is in the boot, revealing the plot of the film.
