Enigmas
Our thriller storyline definitely features the use of Enigmas, throughout the opening sequence we use the enigma of the antagonist stalking this ballet dancer, the antagonist is player by her teacher and the audience asks, why is he doing this and whats his need to stalk this young girl.
This enigma is shown throughout the opening sequence through cinematography in the way of camera angles and shot types as we record parts of the ballet class and then how the antagonist moves into the young girl closer and closer however we don't film any parts to show why he is doing this, which makes the audience ask why? During the opening you never really see the teachers face which builds a lot of tension, you see parts but there is no close up shot to reveal too much and to show is just a normal actor.
We also use sound in the opening sequence point however this sound doesn't directly relate to the Enigma, the sound we will be using is a light ballet sound which doesn't really enforce the enigma however we will edit this sound and make it contradict what will be happening in the scene, for instance quite a tense dramatic scene will have calming music, this will keep the audience on edge and introduce a new enigma of 'why is this happening'
Mis-en-scene will be used to enforce the Enigma as our Antagonist will be dressed in all black clothing, this contradicts the bright colourful clothes of the ballet dancers and will create tension, as well as this dark clothing gives mystery and darkness to the character now showing any kind of emotion or picture of them, along with the clothing to make our antagonist even more dark and scary the character will always be looking down which makes them seem quite mysterious and like they have something to hide, this will enforce the Enigma and keep the audience in question.
The use of editing in our opening sequence will also further carry on this Enigma, the use of flicking from shot to picture's of the young girl on a poster and different photos of her will build this idea up for the audience to try figure out.
Micro elements combine in a build up of suspense.
This convention is also shown in our Thriller opening, many parts of the opening combine up to create suspense and mystery during the scene.
The use of cinematography shows this convention because during the opening sequence we use very long shots and little close up shots, showing minimalistic values of the characters so the audience don't get to many idea's of what is happening, this is shown mainly through the antagonist as the audience never really see this persons face, this creates a build up and then the fact we have a huge Ballet mirror the use of mirroring in the opening sequence and things disappearing in the mirror, this also adds to the suspense as the audience can see certain parts of what's happening to the girl while she can't see it, this causes frustration and intensity to the audience.
The use of mis-en-scene also uses this convention as we dress the antagonist in dark black clothing which builds up suspense as it means they're kept dark and secretive and not much is revealed about the character as well as this are use of posters and pictures of the young girl used as props are in the opening sequence and they suddenly appear on the screen, which makes the audience confused and wonder what is happening now, whats the antagonist done to the girl? etc
The use of editing is also used to build up tense as we use quick flashes and quick clips means the audience are kept on there toes throughout the sequence
