- Writing a script in advance
- Less is more - no need to show everything e.g. Murder
- Make sense to the viewer
- Lighting and shot composition are key

Avoid Predictable places e.g. The woods

Small glimpse of the film. Avoid giving too much away.
This is a good example of an opening sequence because it sets the tone by portraying the typical conventions of a thriller however not giving too much away about the narrative. The non diegetic music shows us that there is an element of suspense about the film. Along with the isolated location, the birds eye view shows us that there wont be many people around. The opening sequence limits the information we are given about the narrative.
