14) Conventions of your genre (Thriller)

I have taken screen grabs and made contact sheets from various thrillers in which I researched and what I feel show the conventions of an opening sequence.
The conventions of my genre(thriller) are:

- Little dialogue

- Fast paced shots

- Close ups

- Shots with meaning and effect for example in The sixth sense the shot behind the wine rack makes the audience feel as if they're someone really behind it watching her.

- Slow, piercing music

- Non- diegetic sounds for a realistic effect

- Hiding the identity of characters to the audience

- Relationship between the shots and the music, for example when the music builds up a climax is revealed.

- There is some secrecy so the audience want to ask questions.

-
