This video is a previous groups beginning of a thriller. It uses a discrete title sequence which separates it from the movie in a way. The credits are shown separately from the film with a black background to them however they fade in and out very nicely. They include 2 members of the the cast, the girl is clearly the main character who has murdered the boy. The boy isn't alive however may still be very important in film. They also include the names of the editor, music, casting and the name of the film. The music used goes well with the scene and brings tension to the audience. Different types of shots are also used which makes it interesting and the different short shots which makes the audience know something is wrong. They have used intertextuality very well from the movie psycho. They have the white bathroom tiles, white shower curtain and white bath tub. I like how they kept cutting shots showing the duck in the water while the girl was getting ready, it created a sense of innocence. We then get revealed of the boy laying in the bath tub dead which we then realise the girl isn't innocent.
