Film Opening Coursework. Film Opening Analysis - Shutter Island.

I have decided to analyse Shutter Island because unlike The Devil Inside, Shutter Island is a Thriller, not a horror. I am trying to get a good perspective of what film openings will be best for my final piece and so far, I think Thriller is winning. We'll have to see. 

Shutter Island's opening is very, very powerful. There is an awful amount of foreshadowing throughout which I only noticed due to the fact that I had already seen the full film before analysing it. It's dramatic, full of suspense and keeps you guessing what actually is happening on that island throughout. 

A very good film opening.
