Conventions of the movie opening 'SE7EN' are...
Music;
Uncomfortable, creepy, atmospheric and intense. This sets the mood and illustrates the genre of the movie.
Special FX;
Distorted and shaky effect goes along with the robotic/electronic music
Titles;
- Production Company (Ident) i.e MGM, Warner Brothers, 20th Century and so forth.
- Director
- Movie name
- Main stars of the movie, followed by other characters names
This is crucial as it sets the right atmosphere that is required to demonstrate that it is in fact, a thriller movie.
Opening;
Opening;
- Doesn't give too much of the plot away so the audience are drawn to the movie and want to see what happens
- Taking the audience into the narrative from the opening, for example 'The Shining' whereas 'Se7en' does not - even though these are different types of openings, they interest the audience in the same way
- Either fast or slow paced in thriller movies, to add the suspense and curiosity
