Analysis of a real thriller opening

We needed to do an analysis of a real thriller opening and i chose to do 28 Days Later. I really liked this sequence because it created alot of question from the moment it started.

This opening sequence also complies with lots of the thriller conventions. Firstly it creates an enemy, the virus, but it doesnt give too much away so it still has some fear of the unknown. There is also a flawed male lead who doesnt listen to people and ends up getting killed at the start. There is also a vunerable female character who also gets killed because she cant defend herself. The tense music that plays throughout the sequence increases the fear and builds up for the climax where the people get attacked.

The way that the title of the film is introduced is interesting because not only does it introduce the name of the film it also introduces the next scene by saying in the bottom corner, 28 weeks later.... which cleverly indroduces the name of the film and the next scene in one go.
