There are many conventions of a film opening, which helps the audience determine the genre of the film and who it's aimed at. The conventions include, mise en scene, editing and camera shots. For a thriller film opening, the conventions used will help to build up suspense and create the tension needed. The most effective camera shots used for a thriller are close ups of props and facial expressions which we have included plenty of in our opening. The conventions of a title sequence for a thriller film opening, goes as follows:
- Production Company: Logo/Indent
- Production Company: Text
- Other production companies (distributors)
- Film title
- Actors/cast
- Casting
- Costume
- Music Supervisors
- Music
- Edited By
- Production Designer
- Director of Photography
- Executive Producers
- More Executive Producers
- Director
Shown from our rough cut is how we have followed these conventions in our thriller opening.
Another thriller film opening that also follows these conventions is The Stepfather.
However, in comparison to the shots of ours, The Stepfather includes the production company's ident, and the production companies as mine has only been taken from a rough cut which we later improved on.
