  1. Gone Girl 

  2. Main cast - Ben Affleck, Rosemont Pike • Studio - 20th century fox • Director – David Fincher • Year – 2014

  3. Initial notes  • From the start the director has already created a sense of ambiance with chilling music. • The music's creating an unsettling atmosphere  • The voiceover starts before we see anything adding mystery. • The dialogue is disturbing and very contrasting to the action that is taking place, he talks about cracking her skull but is stroking her hair gently. • The woman turns around completely emotionless connoting that she knows what he is thinking about doing to her. • Blackout, or fade out suggests an idea of fading away or death. • Images of empty beaches, towns, streets. All connote an absence of human life, foreshadowing what is to come • The eery music continues to underscore the images on the screen.

  4. analysis • This film is classes as a physiological thriller and this is relayed clearly through the opening sequence, there is a real sense of mystery with the reasoning behind why the man in the voiceover wants to hurt this innocent conventionally beautiful woman, he asks himself questions such as what have we done to each other, a typical convention of a thriller, asking the audience questions that they don't yet know to get them thinking and draw them into the narrative of the movie. This film from the start clearly requires a certain level of intelligence and understanding making the target audience more likely to be older and in the age range of 30-50 and mainly dominated by a female audience due to the narrative. In this opening sequence, differing to many, we don’t get introduced to the characters, we see a womans face completely expressionless, and we hear a man talking about her in a disturbing way, we are told that they are married but that’s it, emphasising the mystery and having stereotypical thriller aspects. The different shots of empty towns, and old buildings and so on have an unsettling effect on the audience and put them on edge, the absence of life could foreshadow the events that are coming up later on in the film.
