Genre and how the opening sets it up

The genre is evidently Thriller.
The use of quick succession shots, or montage, sets up the thriller genre as it, along with the music, will create a heartbeat-like suspense amongst audiences.
The dark and isolated area's in which we will film will prove mysterious, disturbing and almost scary.
We have deliberatly chosen to have no diologue in the opening sequence as we beleive this to be the most effective way of beginning, both from experience and from our audience questionnaire results.
