In order to successfully connote our genre we researched psychological thrillers such as the film 'One Hour Photo' to get ideas for our opening sequence. We found that the convention was to have a memorable and unique main character who was evidently weird and gives the audience a sense of unease. Our main character 'Grace' is evidently not normal through her obsessive habits of checking her phone and meticulously planning her route, and this connotes that there is something not as it should be in the story line. This is the same as the character Sy in one hour photo who also has obsessive tendencies.
We also plan to connote the Psychological thriller genre in our opening through out use of Mese-en-scene. We also used One Hour Photos as inspiration for our props and we liked the idea of the stalker character having a mood board covered in photos of the person they are stalking which is used in One Hour Photo as seen below:
