Use of Conventions

There are many thriller-based conventions which all add to the build of suspense for the viewer, however if one convention is overly used, especially in just the opening sequence it can devalue the appeal to viewer, as it will not give the desired effect for the viewer to be uncertain as to the events of the thriller, wanting more.
Overall we did our best to keep the convention of 'murder' to a minimum, as it is too cliché, and looks improfessional, if it is the basis for the entirety of an opening sequence, however to maximise the mysteriousness, we would leave the conventions opening, suggesting murder, and other conventions, which would provoke the viewer to wonder what is happening, entising them to want to find out, wanting more than just the opening sequence.
