After looking at some of Kyle Coopers work and some of his thriller opening sequences, I've realised what needs to be incoorporated into our own thriller opening sequence. The main points which i now feel are very important are:

• leave a suspense for the rest of The story line
• make sure that the audience knows that the genre is thriller
• have some shock factor
• use music very carefully

• I really like his idea of developing the title line throughout the sequence, and am now hoping to use this technique in our opening scene.
