This was a more of a lesser thriller opening.
Firstly camera angles and shots. The shots were not steady making it lose its genre of a thriller. The lack of different camera shots and what i would believe would be relevant in this would be more close up shots to convey what the characters feeling. To keep with thriller conventions they should of used close ups instead of a continuous use of mid shots.
Editing was basic as they made only basic cuts and the use of the polaroid pictures was not in the convention of a thriller. The editing was not appropriate to the genre again as the cuts came across as a montage edit when it seemed to be a continual edit.
Mise en Scene was relevant to the story as the character was a school student who had the feeling of being followed. With the idea of the photographs enhanced this aspect of the thriller making it easy to understand through mise en scene.
The sound in the sequence did not fit in with the genre convention. The sound seemed quite random and did not enhance any aspect of the sequence. What I found disappointing is that they did not manage to mute out any background noise which made the thriller become less effective.
Finally the opening credits were very basic as they used a font which was appropriate but the way they were used by introducing the title at the beginning removed any potential enigmas you may have from this opening sequence.
