American Psycho was the next thriller film which I watched. The opening titles of the thriller film show red liquid dropping to the floor in a side on close up shot. In time with the shot of the blood dropping is a short orchestrial sound. This makes the viewer feel like they are witnessing blood dripping from a dead body. They also assume this because the film they are watching is called American Psycho. The white background makes these red droplets look very visable. Since red can often represent anger, when falling to the bottom of a white backround it may make a viewer feel slightly distressed.
We then see the droplets fall onto well prepaired food in a posh and very up market New York restaurant. We see the restaurant full, with the camera focusing on four young profesionals. They are talking to each other, happily.

Once they leave the restaurant we see the first use of darker colouring in the film. This is outside of a nightclub. The film's title's are similar to other thrillers in that the bold white colours stand out in a darker background and are ment to be powerful for the audience to witness. When female dancers in the nightclub point guns around, this makes the atomosphere much more tense to the audience.
