2. Editing and Music
• Fast shot changes and short
shot duration from the
beginning immediately grabs
the audience's attention. Fear,
confusion and suspense are
already established conforming
to typical thriller genre
conventions. Music adds to
suspense, reaching crescendo
then going very quiet.
4. Editing
• Structure of showing the future then
reverting back to the past makes the
audience want to figure out the bridge
between the two events.
5. Camera
• Shots are predominantly
medium two shots focusing on
the two main characters of the
movie, allowing the audience
to piece together the
characters of importance and
their relationship to each
other.
6. Music
• Upbeat music conveys a happy atmosphere. Seeing as the audience already
know that terrible events are about to happen, it makes the audience more
anxious due to dramatic irony.
7. Mise-en-scene
• Facial expressions and dialogue the
audience is confused as to who to feel
sympathy for and who to see as the
villain. Typical genre conventions are
met due to having a grand plot which
isn't revealed.
