Thriller
- 1. Suspense – In the thriller opening a great convention encountered is suspense, this is due to the fact that the audience are kept in trying to figure out who the suspicious guy is and what will happen to the girl.
- 2. Shock -In the thriller opening the ending point causes a great shock for the audience as they are not aware of the fact that the suspicious guy will catch up with the innocent girl.
- 3. Fast shots – This convention helps to build up the tension as the shots are fast so the audience cannot clearly see what is happening. It some how confuses the audience and may make them more shocked when finding out what happens.
- 4. Dissolve – The dissolve effect was used to create a suspicious feeling throughout the whole thriller. It also helped us to join both clips of the newspapers as well as the filming of the scene.
- 5. Extreme close up – This convention is used nearer to the end when we see a shot of the girl and the suspicious man together. It creates a good effect as we can see clearly what happens.
- 6. Mind games – Whilst the innocent girl was trying to get away from the guy she ended up looking around to see where he was, however she could not see him. This confused therefore confused the audience.
- 7. Antagonist – Like a typical thriller, my thriller opening also conveys a villain. This is the suspicious man who is chasing after the innocent girl. The audience will know this as they can see the reaction on the girls face when she sees the man.
