Thriller 1 - Mission Impossible 2

Release Date - 7th July, 2000
Director - John Woo

Camera
At the beginning of the sequence, a mid shot is used to show the protagonist (Tom Cruise) throwing a pair of exploding glasses towards the camera. This establishes the genre to denote action and thrills will be presented within the narrative.
Close ups are used after this. CU's of red images are merged together to create the title of the film. Using this colour to make up the title "Mission Impossible 2" connotes danger, blood and action, keeping the audience fixed to the film.

Editing
The title sequence is dominated by jump cuts. This represents the genre/sub genre of thriller/action as these jump cuts indicate a fast paced and exciting narrative.
Moreover, the red flame is used in between each jump cut to introduce the next part of the scene. The director does this create danger/action amongst the viewers.

Sound
The audience is introduced with non-digetic music after the protagonist has thrown the sunglasses as the camera. These two action work together well to create a very sudden and tense atmosphere.
Additionally, the non-digetic music used involves more than one instrument throughout the title sequence, connoting multiple thriller/action scenes within the duration of the film.
Also, no involving digetic sounds but only non-digetic sound maintains a fast pace, which establishes a fast pace to the audience for the rest of the film and storyline.

Mise-en-scene
The location of the title sequence is on the top of a extremely high and steep mountain. This is typical of the thriller/action genre because this is a dangerous place to be which puts the protagonist is a difficult situation suggesting danger and excitement is about to take place now and in the rest of the film. However this location comes across as a peaceful and pleasant place which is juxtapostion to an action genre.This could connote that this is an intentional move by the director so the audience expect a twist in the film which is a common thriller convention.
