Thriller opening conventions

There are many things that are employed in a thriller to give it such a dramatic and excellent start for example we often see the name of the company’s such as distributors and Productions Company’s name. Here is one production company that we tend to see on films that are very successful.


The cast that will be featured in the movie will also be seen at the beginning of movies as well as the credits all in a list.
