The opening to ‘The taking of Pelham 123’ has used the conventions of a thriller opening that I have written below. I have also taken print screens to show when they have been used.
Conventions of a thriller film opening are sound, titling, editing, soundtrack and mise-en-scene that enables us to create our own idea of what type of film is going to be. In the film openings you will most likely see the film title, producer, director, cast and the production studio. Also the font helps the audience when trying to decipher the genre. For example a horror film could have an old fashioned font or a more modern font which is used for any genre of film. Cast and director are normally shown in the first opening scenes as it attracts the attention who like a certain director or actor will want to see the movie. You can also see what type of budget the film has depending on the production studios so if you see paramount you know they have a big budget.
