Conventions of a Thriller

Conventions of a Thriller
When I analysed the openings of the four thrillers I found that there were certain conventions that all of them had and that I will attempt to put in my own thriller opening.
  • The first thing I found was that the sound on the opening titles of the thrillers mainly consisted of non diegetic sounds. It was used to build tension and sometimes to hint indirectly hint at the plot.
  • Due to the fact that they are the opening titles they have titles over the top of the visuals to advertise who has made the film and who is in it to advertise them to the audience as if the actors are stars or if the director is extremely famous some people might just want to watch it for that reason.
