The first we are analysing for thriller conventions is 'Stolen' by P1-02. The short opening sequence is set in a dark room with a gagged girl tied up.
Mise en Scene is that of a thriller due to the shadowy background and tense music. The darkness gives a fear of the unknown that thriller audiences love to see. With most thrillers the location is an abandoned place as seen in this opening sequence. Although this is obviously only a school classroom the torn up material and candlelight give the impression of an abandoned building. The damsel in distress idea is shown with the tied up girl, a key convention of thriller.
We believe that this opening sequence is a successful one as it demonstrates key features of Thriller films. One problem that could be exampled however is that the content of the opening sequence is high and could be a give away of the plot line.
