After looking at a selection of thriller film openings, i can conclude that most, not all, thrillers follow a list of semiotics that are iconic to the genre. For example the majority of the opening sequences i've studied or seen or spoke about are generally very simple; dim lighting, white on black composition/text, and very little (if any) storyline to the first 2 minutes of the film, as it is not needed. the director would use typical camera/editing/sound/mise en scene techniques to portray the genre in the opening sequence and establish the rest of the film.
