The conventions of a opening sequence (Thriller).

The conventions that you would expect to see in a thriller opening sequence would always be in a very horrific and minor context. In other words, you would mostly expect the genre to be in a low key lighting. You would see the use of props more often, mostly dangerous props, i.e. knifes, guns, bombs e.g. 

With the music, I would personally expect to hear the music speed up to reveal tension building up. In our clip that our group are going to produce, we are going to have the music being played slowly at the start and then once we get to the shot where we see the knife with blood dripping, then the music will come to its maximum speed and then it will just stop. We are also thinking of having no sound throughout the clip but just the music. Also, the whole of the clip is going to be in slow motion.

The cinematography thats going to be used throughout the clip is going to relate to the speed of the clip. Foe example, the extreme close ups of the knife relates to a minor piece of music. The use of instrumentation being used in the clip can also relate to the main part of the clip. Close ups of facial expressions shows a sign of importance and also makes the audience want to feel part of this.
