The audience can see that this is a thriller film they know this because of certain thing that the people who made the film done with cinematography, mise en scene, sound and editing. The job of an opening sequence would to keep the audience interest and give away slight hints to the rest of the story, without giving away too much that would ruin the film.
One of the first thing that you get to see in the film is the Mise En scene and how clever the film makers were with this. You can tell it is a thriller because the colour of the first credits with the distributers name on it is blue which is the colour normally associated with thriller films. Also They decide to start the film off with a man holding a picture of somebody that has been shot, they do this so the audience would start to ask them selves question about the events that have take place there and so that the audience would try to puzzle things together, this is also an indication also that this is a thriller film because they do that a lot and most thrillers often get your heart rate up but at simultaneously ask the audience questions at the same time.
The other technique used to indicate that this is a Thriller film is sound although there are not any way to show how sound played a part in making this a thriller it did. The way in which they done that was they played a very slow mellow type of music with what I think may be violin, to create a pathos within the scene so the audience being to think and fell sorry for the man lying on the floor shoot to death. The music has a very big impact on what is happening in the story and how the audience feel about it. They also use cinematography to indicate that this again is a thriller. They do this by having a close up on the picture and the mans hand they use this as a hint to show the audience and so that the audience would ask themselves questions, this is a common connotation in most thriller is sometimes intellectually demanding which is why they are mostly rated 15 and above. Close ups are not individual to thrillers they are also sometimes used in other genres of film also again to give away hints to the rest of the story.
Lastly also use editing to show that this is a thriller. As I said earlier the job of an opening sequence would to keep the audience interest and give away slight hints to the rest of the story, without giving away too much that would ruin the film, and the editing does that by reversing the film itself so then that help the audience to know that there is story building up here and also that they are about to find out what happened to the man for him to be holding that picture and also what happened to the man in the picture as well
