Marnie is a 1964 psychological thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock and based on the novel of the same name by Winston Graham.
When watching this thriller, I was very pleased to see that the opening sequence was a book, and the pages turning over but producing the titles- this technique was what we had planned to do to incorporate our titles! I feel that it worked very well, and my family commented on the fact that it was trying to create suspense as you couldn't read the name till the page had completely flipped- will take this into consideration when we come to that stage in editing.
The opening sequence uses orchestral music which is very powerful and is connoting the suspense that will be featured in the film. As soon as the titles stopped, so did the music- it lead to an extreme close up of a woman's hand bag and her back to the camera, walking away. Big contrast from high pitched music, to silence- my family thought this was a good technique.
This thriller is not aimed at a specific gender, as it is a psychological thriller it is being targeted at a wide group- certificate is a 15. I think this film relates to our thriller a lot! The main character is portrayed to have a lot of issues, for example every time the colour red appears, the deep uncomfortable music begins, and there is an extreme close-up of her face. Also it is shown that her mother has issues with her, and the dreams reflect this.
