3rd Analysis of thriller opening sequence- YOU GET ME

You get me is a 2017 American thriller film directed by Brent Bonacorso which is about a girl,Holly who develops an unhealthy obsession with Tyler.
It is a NETFLIX original film and the production company is AWESOMENESS FILMS.




The film starts with an Ariel shot of the sea with the text that slowly appeared, 'NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM'.Then, a crane shot of the same beach with the text that slowly appeared ' AN AWESOMENESS FILMS PRODUCTION'. Lastly, a. crane shot at a constant position of the overall place which includes the beach, the road near it and the houses next to it. These shots made it clear that it was an Island.




Throughout the scenes, there is a voiceover of a man talking about his, ' summer before my senior year' and how his life became the 'California dream'.
When he said ' I got a job at a place right by the beach', the scene shifted to him working at a restaurant. Then, when he said 'my friends would meet me after work and we'd just hang out', the scene shifts to the beach where one of his friends is trying to set up an umbrella for shade and his other 2 girl friends are walking towards the shade.There is then a wide angle shot of them sitting at the beach. 'but most importantly I had Ali' is when the scene focuses on his girlfriend,Ali and him at the beach.


next there are 5-6 long shots of Ali and him spending time at the beach to show their happy relationship.' and then suddenly there was colour'  is when the setting becomes more vibrant due to the sun set. There are sound effects such as her shrieking when the water touches her face or the water splashing. Then there is wide angle shot of the beach which becomes blurred and shifts to a mid shot of beautiful landscape where the mountains can be visible clearly with the text, ' Last week of summer' and ambient sound of birds chirping to add to the beauty of the landscape.


Throughout the voiceover of the protagonist, there is also a background score/film score/incidental music that creates a relaxing, happy and calming sense to the whole opening sequence.
The voiceover evidently shows that the protagonist's life was going 'perfect' and most of it was because of his girlfriend, Ali.
The colours used added to the summer effect as they were warm colours such as yellow. green and light blue.This is also called use of analogous colours.
