The genre we chose for our opening sequence is thriller. Past thriller films include Inception, Sin City, Se7en etc. Initially, the genre of our opening sequence was going to be horror, but then after reading the script and seeing the footage I suggested we should change it to thriller instead because it didn't feel like a horror film at all and most the other groups were doing the same genre.

The conventions of thriller films are:
- The antagonist who is could be a stalker, murderer, criminal etc.
- The protagonist who is usually a normal citizen so that the audience identifies with them.
- They usually take place in a major city like New York or Chicago.
- There is a lot of suspense and viewers are sitting at the edge of their seat.
- Someone usually dies at the end, it can be the antagonist or the protagonist. Or sometimes both.
