How are two elements of thriller films used in your film?

A series of/ one important enigma(s) are/is set up in the opening sequence of the film, is further complicated during the first part of the film and only resolved at the very end.

At the beginning of our film, we see Adam’s character place flowers on a grave without knowing who he is, or who the grave belongs to.
The enigma is further complicated when we see Adam’s character seemingly appear in the upstairs room of someone’s house.

Micro elements combine in a build up of suspense.

Sound is a large element of our thriller. We are first drawn attention to the fact that something is not quite right when a loud bang is heard for upstairs. Ambient noise is heard throughout, which helps to build up the tension.

Camera angles also help to build suspense. Close ups are used to distort some scenes, and a canted angle is used at one point, which helps to show that something bad is about to happen.

Editing helps build suspense because there are a lot of clips, which helps to prolong the suspense.
