Double Indemnity




Double Indemnity is similar to Kiss Me Deadly and is an old style Thriller movie. Again unlike Memento and Wallander it's black and white and has a basic bed of music that creates some tension due to the merithnic beating of drums.

Throughout the whole opening sequence it's credits which is unusual because it doesn't give any clues to the story-line away although it does follow the conventions of thrillers where as it drawing the audience in like the sixth sense. Although like a normal Thriller opening sequence it uses close-up camera shots of a shadow of someone walking towards the camera screen, turning into an extreme close-up. The only clip we get of the movie is an establishing shot of a street and rail station. The only other convention of a thriller this shows is being film in the night. It also makes us ask a questions such has “who is the man walking” and “why is he on crouches”
