Two thriller conventions used in 'Aparition' through technical elements

One thriller element that was used during the opening sequence was creation of enigmas. This was created by The main character walking past the camera and in the backround there is a figure which can not be fully made out, but seems to resemble a person. This creates an enigma around the figures identity and relevance to the film.









Another thriller element that is used is ordinary settings in which extraordinary events occur. This is shown first by the noise on the top floor of the house when Craig's character transists from the kitchen to the living area. Also when we see the shadow above combined with the Point Of View shot of the window shows us that the main character is unable to see anything that is out of the ordinary and yet the audience can.
