2. Genre conventions. Our opening uses many conventions of
Thrillers. These include: blood, increases of ambient sound and
fast pace editing to add to intensity. Another film that uses this
is Fight Club in the changeover scene in which the narrator
discovers that he is Tyler Durden and all of the past hour an a
half of the movie flashes back into his memory in the way that they
really are. This is similar to the end of our opening when Scarlett
wakes up and sees that there is blood on her hands.

3. Use of music. The opening background music is somewhat eerie
like The Machinist. Although The Machinists opening music is
somewhat more aggressive. Which supports the genre conventions of
Thrillers. In the bathroom scene the crescendo of the music and the
heartbeat, the intensity provoked in the scene supports
conventions. However in the party scene the music is more up-beat
which subverts conventions. Wrong Path Opening Music
4. Unique Selling Point. Our unique selling point is that,
apart from the murdering our opening is quiet an accurate
representation of one type of teenage. Unlike many other films that
are made about teenagers by adults that dont represent teenagers in
an accurate way.
