Analysis of Thriller Opening

I have decided to analyse the thriller opening of the film Catch me If You Can. Although it is not a conventional thriller, it shows someone running away (Leonardo Dicaprio, as Frank Abagnale) from danger ( The FBI and Police). The beginning of the film is animated throughout and shows Frank Abagnale going through different stages of running and different types of transport he uses. It also shows the types of lifestyle he lived and how he was living the high life until it all went wrong. The music in the opening scene could be classed as a type of jazz, however during the opening it changes to a different type of music which could interpret a change in the story and leaves questions even right at the beginning of the film. I have seen the film and the beginning is a very accurate short opening which tells the story in a faint but accurate way to leave lots of questions and make the viewer kep watching.
