This is another AS Media Thriller opening sequence by a group of students. This is one of the best I have seen yet.
First of all, the film establishes an excellent sense of realism. This is created by showing the mundane routine of a typical worker's life and their route home. It is also a fairly typical room and house, very expected.
As well as this it creates a good enigma, and use of enigma codes. We see murder of a female by a man wearing gloves, only for the protagonist to too be wearing gloves. This creates a question "Did he do it?" Furthermore the gloves themselves, costume, are the enigma codes, causing us to question this idea. This murder scene is possible due to the user of omnipotent narration.
Another good technique used is theatre of the mind. When the murder scene occurs, it uses the point of view camera shot to place us in the hands of the murderer. This too restricts us from viewing who the murderer is however, or any hint as to how he got there; this allows the audience to attempt to solve these queries themselves.
One flaw in its design however is the font; it is extremely basic and does not feature any really connotations. They could probably have got more points for further work on the font.
