That he is stressed, the music creates tension because it gets louder and louder as it goes on. I can also learn that he is stressed because a drum beats, which could symbolise a heart and a fast beating heart means you are stressed. At the beginning of the opening, the character is heavily breathing. This shows he is either hot and panting, or he feels guilty. The sound of the children and bus etc, make the opening realistic. It is also diegetic sound, because at some points you can not see the sound being produced. The loud car noises shows me that he is panicking, so he must be worried about something.
How do we know this is a thriller?
I know it's a thriller because of the suspense and mystery being created. The suspense is from the tense music, and the characters worry being shown. The mystery is created by the characters panic and unusual behavoir. The dull colours also shows that something bad is going to happen or has happened. The dramatic music also shows me it is a thriller, because you can again tell something basis/has happened.
What is the role of an opening of a film?
To set the mood, which is suspense and mystery, to make you watch on, who is he? what is he doing? It is also to set the scene, to make the audience learn some information about the character and location. It is also to set the genre, so colors, weather and behavior all contribute to this. It is giving you some background as well.
I have learnt why and how Falling down is a thriller.
