RESEARCH - What are the conventions of film openings?

The main conventions in a thriller film opening are music, titles and genre.

Music is very important in an opening of a film because it sets the mood of the film and in order to create atmosphere. In the opening of the movie called 'Seven' the music is creepy and tenses this shows the audience that its going to be a horror film.




The titles of the movie thats shown at the opening of a film are;
-Production company ident
-Director
-Star
-Name of the film

Its usually in that order however in some films they change the order for example if a big hollywood star such as will smith is in the movie they would more likely to put his name first.


Opening of a film needs to establish the genre in order to set up the rest of the film and to create a certain mood. The opening also needs to hook the audience and make them want to watch the rest of the film
