Analysis of 'Kiss Me Deadly'

The opening sequence for 'Kiss Me Deadly' is a good title sequence because it has all the conventions for a successful thriller opening sequence. The beginning of the film starts of with the shot of bare feet running along a road. As this is movement, the camera is tracking each step that is being taken. The character is then revealed and we see a woman in a coat running down the road barefoot and breathing/panting heavily. The fact that she is barefoot shows that it was not her intentions to be running or that she was in situation whereby she thought that this turn of events would not occur.
