My idea for my thriller opening has been inspired by films such as 'sinister' and 'insidious'.
My idea
There is a little boy playing in the garden and looks up and sees someone in his bedroom window which is a low angle shot, also aloud piano sound is played. He runs (handheld camera shot) to tell his mum and she doesn't believe him fades out to night time and kids asleep upstairs and mum is watching TV alone when the door knocks. she answers but nobody is there then the camera films her face and somebody in the back door window is standing with a gas mask on and creepy music is played and he walked out of sight. Next morning the mum is tidying her sons room and finds the gas mask under his bed and same piano noise is played creating mystery and tension.
This post demonstrates a very understanding of what an opening sequence should include and this is because you ave not focused upon your opening in enough detail. Therefore, you need to consider more of the micro elements and thriller conventions, within your narrative and how it would appeal to an audience.
