Normal openings to a Thriller

In class we looked at typical scenes that thrillers include as inspiration for our own thrillers and consider about maybe adding some of these in our own thrillers.


Scene setting: Sense of normality and a isolated vulnerable character which then creates the sense of foreboding
Point of view shot: The camera moving with an adding hint of mystery as we the audience only know as much and can see what the character sees
An introduction of discordant non-diegtic music: creating suspense as the viewer awaits to what will happen
People scared: Vulnerable people audience will identify with
And a element of mystery.
