Conventions of a Thriller/Sci-Fi





This type of scream is a typical convention of a thriller as the majority of victims in thriller films are female. When we create our opening sequence we won't have any dialogue, and this could break the stereotypical convention of the thriller genre.



This ambient sound is used to underlies the musical score. The majority of thriller films always have this, making it a convention of this genre. This type of ambient sound is heard in films such as:
- Taken (2008, Morel, UK)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/
- Disturbia (2007, Caruso, UK) 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486822/
- Phone Booth (2002, Schumacher, UK)
