Thriller Film Opening

Hi! to anybody who might be reading, I want to tell you that after talking to my partner extensively, we decided that we want to focus on a genre that will have our audience on their tippy-toes, and we believe that there is no better genre to do that other than thriller and suspense! We have viewed multiple film openings in class relating to the genre and we have also created some sort of plan we want to follow in order to deliver the most amount of information within the time limit; however, we're both scared. My partner and I go a long way back in regards to this class as we've worked together on multiple projects, including the music marketing campaign, and the film pitch project. Both of which we have successfully completed and have been able to entertain the audience due to our vision and ideas. Now, we are scared because we think that we may possibly overdo the transmission of information and reach a pint in which the audience does not understand it, or even create a meaning to the scene which is difficult for the audience to understand without explanation, which is what happened in our music marketing video. In order to evade this, we have researched heavily on film openings of the genre in order to base our ideas on that. We landed upon some ideas. After seeing the film opening of "Get out(2017)" and "Joker(2019)" we discovered that thrillers often begin by introducing the audience to the main conflict. Watch for yourself:

The film opening of "Get Out(2017)" begins by the main character, Daniel, Getting abducted by two mysterious men. This opening lets the audience know that there will be large amounts of problems throughout the movie and that they will have to wait in order to understand the purpose of that scene.

The scene to "Joker(2019)" shows the main character getting ready for work as a clown. However, the conflict is first introduced to the audience in a psychological manner as they are shown that the main character has an emotional problem within. This is shown by the tear coming out of his eye. In this opening scene, we are also shown that the character is literally kicked around by the world. These conflicts let the viewer know that a reaction to these emotions will come, which will create a response from the character.

My partner and I want to also introduce our audience to a conflict that will leave them wanting more. We just don't know exactly how...
