Conventions of film openings 

In  lots of none genre specific films lots of stereotype conventions are used in the characters, settings and title sequence to display and understand the genre of the film.  Key characters are normally introduced during the film openings and will be included during the rest of the film, such as;

In The Hunger Games, we are introduced to main character Katniss

Establishing the shot, is setting location for the whole film in the opening sequence, and help us establish characters and the mise-en-scene of the film, like;

In Batman Begins, there is an established shot of were the scene is set

Titles are vital to film opening sequence, they can help set the genre for the audience using colour, font and style, some examples;

Shaun of the Dead, title show off the characters and themes of the film

Jaws uses bold font reflection on the genre of its film and the undersea effect to highlight the character and its setting

More Film Opening Conventions

I believe our thriller film opening uses the conventions of a typical film opening, our setting, titles, sound and character. The set shows a typical location for a kidnapping scene, with the protaganist as an innocence young girl home alone and an intruding kidnapper, mysterious and unknown. Our titles reflect our film with thrilling suspense, helped by the use of edited sound.
