                                                                      Gone girl (2014)

Gone Girl is a thriller movie. Directed by David Flincher. We got inspired from Gone Girl after watching the movie as Gone Girl is a thriller movie, and as a group we decided to take and co-oparate  few ideas about how we see in Gone Girl they have used notes to keep the aspect of thriller and mystery going throughout the film. In our title sequence we also decided to use notes and arrows. Gone Girl is about the main protagonist get missing ( Amy) and her husband trying to find her, but the movie is all about how Amy trying  to frame her husband to take revenge on her husband, but as a audience we don't know that she was the one framing her husband, which creates this thriller aspect to the movie as the audience don't know if she is alive or dead or her husband killed her. In the movie we see that her husband as a guy who killed her but the twist towards the end reveals that she was the one who hid her self away from her house to frame her husband.

Opening of the title sequence begins with the production logo, then the screen fades into black and credits starts to appear and you could also hear a non-digetic voice over of the main character, describing his thoughts and feelings and  then the face of Amy , female protaganist appears in the screen and it's a close up of her face, showing her bold emotion looking up in the camera, this time is a point of view shot from the male protagonist  while the voice over is playing in the back ground, then after 30 seconds title ( Gone Girl) appears in a bold writing and in the background you could see river/lakeside and then the title fades aways and you see all the montage of the houses and location and the clock, then we see the main character standing outside of his house then he turns around and then the screen fades black then it ends there.
When the rest of the credits appears in the black screen for it to stand out as the writing was in white. For example when the Directors name appeared it appears in black screen. The music used throughout the sequence accompanies the visual, giving it eerie feel also helps creates the atmosphere of thriller and suspense. Most of the shots are of the house which looks some how old and run-down, in other sense not so glamorous, which gives viewer some insight of what to expect in rest of the film. Also, the fact that most of the building looked old it somehow creates mystery atmosphere. By looking at the title sequence it looks like the shots are taken before the sun rise as theres is not full sunlight yet has some sorts of lighting. also the fact that they shot the scenes in very low lighting, it engulfed  with the genre of the movie.
Almost the focus of the title is in establishing shots, we still see and hear the protagonist of the film in the beggining and the end of the title sequence. The audience will know that these two character  shown has siginifacnes in the rest of the film as thy are the only two characters that are shown first.
At the end of the sequence we see the male protagonist standing outside the house, wearing light dull clothes, giving the viewer the innocent and naive character. Also his posture show how tired he feels.
