The opening to this film is full of subtle clues for us to figure out through conventions of a Thriller film.
The music to the opening is very suspenseful, low pitch, and very ominous this connotes a thriller and builds a creepy atmosphere.
There is an extreme close up of an eye which is a reference to looking and voyeurism which is a convention of a thriller film.
The lighting is very low key and dark which has a reference to fear and possible death.
The credits have waves rippling behind to connote part of the narrative to be water based, perhaps set at a fall or a lake?
There is an mid shot of an eagle at a low angle which is a decending predatory bird. The low angle is symbolic for the antagonist who is a powerful predator who is hunding for its victims.
From death imagery of a knife the conventions of a thriller being based around a crime/murder is connoted.
There is blood dropping connoting tear drops or death imagery again. The 'tear drops' link in with the water reference.
