Thriller Research Task - The Usual Suspects

In one of our lessons, we watched a thriller titled 'The Usual Suspects' directed by Bryan Singer. This helped as it showed me a lot of the conventions used in thrillers for instance crime, dead bodies, weapons etc. I also showed me the different types of camerawork and editing used in thrillers.

I do understand that I will not be doing a film with a beginning, middle and end, but just the beginning opening sequence.
