How Character (s), Mood, Themes and Story Order are evident in "Thriller" opening sequences

Character
·binary oppositions between protagonist/hero and villain/antagonist are common, but may not be introduced in the opening
·thriller antagonists are always human (not supernatural)
·it may not be clear who is to be trusted in the opening
·ENIGMA may be created around character
·there may be minimal dialogue

Themes
·crime
·urban decay
·passion
·morality/immorality

Mood/atmosphere
·suspense
·danger
·shock
·enigma
·darkness
·claustrophobia


Story Order (The Narrative)
·chronological and non-chronological order
·some use of flashbacks
·events in early narrative may create binary opposition between good and evil

Again, apply these terms in your initial research
