Analysis of Sound in thriller opening

Catch Me If You Can
The opening sequence of Catch Me If You Can is completely non-diegetic.  The sound matched the usual sound you'd expect to hear in a thriller opening as it was instrumental, melodic and dramatic.


Vertigo
The opening sequence is also non-diegetic but it also features the diegetic sound of speech from the characters. Vertigo also featured the typical instrumental music, and it was fast and upbeat to create suspense.



Face Off
This opening sequence is also quite instrumental in Face Off. At the start we hear chimes and its quite peaceful and slow. There is a sudden change in the music when the location and character changes on screen the music becomes a more heavily instrumental piece. The music matched the movie sequence itself.
