Gone Girl is quite similar to Se7en, and also exhibits many elements of a thriller. The sequence opens with very crisp and chilling music playing in the background, which instantly makes the audience feel agitated. However, a male voice starts abruptly at 24 seconds and this leaves the audiences alarms as it was very unexpected. The echo of the male voice adds to the mysteriousness and suspense of the film opening. Additionally, low-key lighting is used when the clip of a woman is shown and this foreshadows that she the main antagonist and is perhaps the bad person in the film. However, her actions says otherwise because she appears innocent and her facial expression makes her seem pure. Furthermore, this opening sequence is successful in represent the genre as the techniques used, such as dark and dismal lighting, slow editing alongside the fading effects make it very dramatic and uncanny. Moreover, as the film opening progresses, the editing quickens as the titles appear, making the audience feel apprehensive, and allows them to become aware of what is included.
