Inspirations for the genre of Thriller:
Se7en -
Extreme closeups and the colour palettes from the opening title sequence.
There is a lot of eeriness, complimented by its sharp and scratch-like choices of fonts that flash and with instability, pop out at the screen. This Idea is something I feel will leave the audience in suspense, which is something I will consider in my group.
The use of very jagged and sharp fonts integrates the themes of danger and psychotic distortion, arousing the emotion of discomfort and suspense.
The Butterfly Effect -
Mise-en-Scene of dark shadows uses and effects of vignettes and the naturalistic costumes/makeup intensifies the realism, ultimately resulting in a more tense opening. 
The naturalistic aspect to it makes the film feel more relatable, especially as we're aiming our Genre towards an audience within the ages of 16-19, so a lot of strong emotions will be pulled from our audience, especially with our soundscape.
Fight Club -
Storytelling Ideas 
(reveal something new/create plot-twists/show & don't tell)
leaves our audience guessing more than having everything thrown at the start, which would disengage our audience;
so we will use their technique of hinting at significant objects to symbolise and add to our Thriller theme and genre.
- Each of these Thrillers' uses of sound are similar, so I've combined each of their aspects of sound effects, ambient and diagetics to plan the opening.
Here, I've drawn significant images from each of the movies inspiring to pursue the Thriller genre. These show the use of closeups, naturalistic lighting and cold hues to intensify the realism and a dark tint of discomfort.
To compliment this theme, I've drawn Akira Yamaoka's song "Witchcraft" which was used in Silent Hill, a horror/thriller. This non-diegetic is influential and the ambiences drawn from the game will also set a suspenseful tone.
