from watching both of these thriller film introductions i can see common trends. Both start with engimas, the audience is left wondering how the people have found themselves in this position and would therefore assume the film would go on to explain. They don't know anything about the scene the actors are in due to the enigma, leaving the audience wanting to carry on watching to find out.  Both of these films also alert the reader that there is something wrong and not normal. For example in London to Brighton the two females are locked in the toilets at 3:07 am, showing that thecircumstances they find themselves in are clearly not normal. Just as in 28 days later, the man is confused in an empty hospital that is extremely messy. Hospitals would not normally be empty as they are 24 hour so theres no reason for no one to be there. He is then in the centre of London which is again abandoned, creatin

g a real sense of confusion to his position. These situations then make the audience automatically intrested in the film as they try to guess why and how this situation has come about. However there are ways in which the two introductions contrast, the main one being that in London to Brighton the action starts straight away, whereas in 28 days later there is a slow start which is really quite and relaxed. It then slowly builds up to become more dramatic as the confusion continues. This build up of tension os done through the score as it increases in volume and speed creating a far more tense scene. Even though London to Brighton doesnt have a score it is still a very tense scene because the people seem to be very frantic and they are shouting. The apperance of them also shows the audience that they are in a

 bad way and likely to be in some kind of trouble. The other main way in which the two introductions differ is the titles. London to Brighton has short one which just show the sponsors and producers before any of the action, followed by the film title and the end of the beginning scene. Whereas in 28 days later the only title shown is the nae of the film briefly before the scenes start. They also contrast in terms of structure. London to Brighton is a non-linear text because it starts half way through the story, to then return to the beginning. Whereas in 28 days later it has a restricted narrative as the audience doesn't know anything the charachter doesn't, we find out things with him.  

In terms of my thriller introduction this tells me that getting the audience guessing is vital to do at the beginning as it brings them in to the film straught away. However parts such as whether to go in to the action straight away and whether or not to have titles are shown to be dependable on what type of introduction i choose to do.
