Our thriller opening in many ways conforms to the forms and conventions of a stereotypical thriller opening. The use of camera throughout our opening is conventional for a thriller film, for example as Olivia receives a phone call, the camera zooms in on her face which distracts us from Amelia. The camera shots use give the impression that they are being watched, this is emphasised in the shot of the eyes.
Another convention used is the protagonist having a flaw in which the antagonist takes advantage of, for example Olivia's flaw is what when she receives a call she ignores Amelia, to focus on the call, this then results in her going missing.
The music is typical to the genre and helps to create suspense and an eery atmosphere throughout the opening.
We think the use of conventions in our opening is at first not clear as to what sub-genre it falls into, however as the scene progresses, it is clear the it is a psychological thriller.
At first this helps to add to the mystery of the film as the audience are made to think what has happened and what is going to become of this. They can then compare what they thought was going to happen, with what actually did happen, and this then changes amongst other audiences.
