- The protagonist has the appearance of just an 'ordinary citizen' which is common in many thriller openings
- The opening dialogue has an element of mystery and enigma to it, which intrigues the audience to follow his thoughts closely
- There are sub-genres evident e.g psychological
- This opening has been influenced by the genre of psychological films, as the audience enters the mind of the mentally unstable protagonist who has prevalence
- This film starts off at the state of equilibrium, where everything is calm, satisfied and normal. This leads the audience to anticipate that something might soon go wrong, leading to disequilibrium
From this I have learned and understood the role of the conventions of a thriller film. In our opening, we could also have a protagonist who appears as an ordinary citizen, but turns out to be a killer in a red herring. We could also start off our opening in a state of equilibrium before events occur that lead to a state of disequilibrium., because in this film it was very effective and made the murders even more dramatic.
