The Opening Narrative Shots and Title Lengths of Thrillers

Taxi Driver, Martin Scorsese, 1976
Camera frame, movement and angle: There's an extreme close up of the characters eyes and then shots of the city and there is a lot of smoke when the camera shows shots of the city there is a lot of smoke.
Sound: At the opening credits romantic and soft music plays when the camera is on the man's eyes but when the shot is of the city its tense and deep, loud music. You can hear the diegetic sound of the phone ringing when the man enters the office.
Mise-en-scene: During the opening credits you see the man's eyes a lot, and shot's of the city. Then it cuts to two men in an office with the phone ringing.

10 shots altogether.

Heat, Michael Mann, 1995
Camera frame, movement and angle: There is a long shot of the train coming into the station. Then a close up of a man walking and close ups of his face to show his expression which is quite stern. Then an over the shoulder shot as he goes down the escalator. Then a tracking shot when the character enters the hospital, and long jumpcuts to the different patients being treated and a lot of doctors bustling about.
Sound: As the scene opens there is quite soft music but then the train breaks through it so you hear the diegetic sound of the train coming into the station. When the character goes to the hospital there is diegetic sound of heart monitors, patient's voices and the doctors shuffling about.
Mise-en-scene: A train coming into the station and crowds of people who are 'quite business like.' Then a shot of the man in the hospital, heart monitors, patients, doctors.

Identity, James Mangold, 2003
Camera frame, movement and angle: A lot of jump cuts in the beginning of different files.
Sound: Sound of the thunder and lightning outside the window. Sound of a man asking another man questions which are on a tape and sound like an interview.
Mise-en-scene: The jumpcuts show a lot of files and drawings which look like children's drawings. Then from the innocent drawings the camera jumpcuts to violent images of murdered people. The mise-en-scene also shows a man working, and the lightning outside is also shown outside the window.
Opening credits: The opening credits is like 'typed font', font you would find on an important document, and its quite small, capital, simple and formal. The font is in the corners of the screen as the jumpcuts happen.

40-42 shots because of all the jumpcuts at the beginning.

Red Road, Andrea Arnold, 2006
Camera frame, movement and angle: Quite a lot of close up's of the female character's face which gives us a clearer image of her expression. Mid shots of her head, and shoulders. Camera shots of security cameras' and the quality of these shots are blurred and bad quality.
Sound: Diegetic sound of her pushing buttons and the sound of her breathing and laughing softly.
Mise-en-scene: The mise-en-scene is of the woman working and the images on the screen that she is watching. The woman is sitting in darkness, and the glow from the screens lights up her face and there is also a non-ambient lighting on her face.
Opening credits: Blurred camera moving around with small informal font.
