Thriller Conventions

To answer this question, I used the opening 5 minutes of sin city...

• The name of the production and distributor company are shown at the very beginning before it starts. (credits) 
• A theme tune, which is non-diagetic, usually fast paced so that the audience is feeling the tension.
• A few minutes of the film before it goes into more of the credits, to get the audience intrigued about what is going to happen.
• An unanswered question in which gets the audience thinking of what the answer might be. 
• An introduction of the main character(s).
• Something dramatic to happen which will excite the audience, as they will want to know what happens next e.g a death, kidnap.
• (Sometimes) there is a narrator speaking over the top, usually setting the plot.
• The title of the film, which very bold and dramatic.
• The actors of whom are within the film.
• Who the director/producer is, however in sin city, they have who the executive producer, special guest director, line producer, who wrote/ produced the music and the casting director.
