Conventions of Thrillers

Sixth sense
This title sequence has some of the generic conventions of a thriller, for example; the atmosphere is very shadowy and dark, however, the action starts from the very beginning which is different to many other thrillers and the title opening credits start after the action.

Gone girl
This opening has none of the usual conventions of a thriller which is mainly due to the music which seems to be very upbeat and happy, this adds to the mystery of the film, however the film angles used in the film creates mystery as the audience is not shown the face of who appears to be the main character. This is usually a typical feature of a thriller.

La Hain 
The opening of this film is very atyical which is evident from the fact that it starts with a scene of men marching,which is directly followed by an eery silence for a few minutes which creates an air of mystery. The up beat reggae song in the background is also very atypical of a thriller movie and doesn't go with the clips of the riots that play in the opening sequence.
