Similar Genre Analysis

I have also researched the film Batman opening title sequence and experienced the heroic type of thriller genre. Its not much different compared to others as it still uses dark colours/theme and drum/bass music in the background. In fact through out the entire title sequence black was used and no other colours . I've noticed during my research that alot of thriller films use black with another colour to create a theme.
I also researched the film Law Abiding Citizen, which surprised me because on the opening title sequence it only shows very shortcredits for approx 5 seconds and then the film starts. It still usesblack and white colours however the film starts straight away.
During my research I have noticed that alot the crime/thriller types of film, start the film straight away and use black and whitecolours.

Locations for advertising

We would put posters of the film on bus stops as they are in a public place. People pass them and sit at them everyday.



We would also put posters on billboards for the same reason.
