Final destination (Michael Maddock)

Final destination 4

This opening is very different from most thriller openings, for a start it is in black and white this could be because the real story hasn’t started yet and its almost like a flash back to the other final destination films. It also has no dialog this backs up my first idea that it is a flash back, showing you all the past deaths and blood to get you in the mood for the film you are about to watch.
The only characters in this opening are people who are dying in almost comical ways. This also could be to inform you that the film you are about to watch isn’t the most serious thriller you will see.
I like how this opening shot has been edited. It is fast and upbeat creating the feel of an action film. It also a cut from a real person acting to some cleaver computer work witch shows the person almost like an x-ray.
Although there is no speaking in the opening there is text. It doesn’t really add to the overall feel on the start but gives me the idea that in are opening we might not have to have talking and we would have writing explaining the events or telling the story.
